Don’s column: Digitalisation of SMEs in Singapore

In a commentary, SMU Lecturer of Accounting and Director of Student Matters Benjamin Lee and SMU Associate Professor of Accounting (Education) and Associate Dean for Undergraduate Admissions and Student Development Gary Pan advised small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to consider partnering institutes of higher learning through faculty-mentored student projects for their digitalisation efforts. They discussed a case study of a local SME that digitalised its accounting function by commissioning a team of five students from the Accounting Analytics Capstone (SMU-X) course offered by SMU School of Accountancy, to develop a forecasting model using analytics.
