According to Adinda, one of the keys to becoming a competent tax practitioner is the willingness to keep learning and developing one's thinking. She also shared a message from DDTC's founder regarding the 3 keys to success for a tax practitioner.
"Mr Darussalam (DDTC Founder) shared the keys to success as a tax practitioner, namely to consistently read, write and publish our thoughts," she said.
Adinda emphasised that these three things are crucial to building competence whilst also demonstrating the thinking and contribution of a professional in the field of taxation.
Further, she also introduced the various resources that DDTC has to support the development of tax knowledge, including DDTC Library and DDTC Academy, which recently achieved two MURI Records simultaneously.
DDTC Library received the MURI Record as the Tax Library with the Largest Collection of Tax Literature. Meanwhile, DDTC Academy received the MURI Record as the First Provider of International Tax and Transfer Pricing Training, Recognised by the Chartered Institute of Taxation, UK.
"This demonstrates how DDTC is not solely focused on business, but also has a strong commitment to the development of knowledge and competence in the field of taxation," said Adinda.

On the same occasion, DDTC Human Capital Generalist, Inayya Putri Pidata, delivered a presentation on the opportunities and preparations that students can undertake to begin a career at DDTC.
She explained that an internship experience at DDTC not only provides students with the opportunity to work, but also serves as a means to learn about taxation from its foundations.
