A TOTAL of 120 officers from the Employees Trust Fund (TAP) on Monday brushed up on their financial know-how as part of a month-long roadshow aimed at enhancing their financial planning prowess.
The roadshow was also a refresher course for senior employees which will be held annually once a year.
Throughout April, TAP will organise the roadshow for selected institutions such as BRUNEI Shell Petroleum Company, Brunei Liquified Natural Gas, Brunei Gas Carriers Sendirian Berhad, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Institut Teknologi Brunei and Royal Brunei Armed Forces as part of activities to commemorate the 15 years establishment of TAP.
The roadshow will include financial institutions such as Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, CIMB and Baiduri Bank for visitors to learn about the financial planning systems that have been implemented by these institutions.
Some of the institutions have also brought in an expert to speak on the subject. A representative from the Brunei Islamic Religious Council will also be on hand to speak about zakat and its significance towards proper financial planning.
A lecturer from CIMB Islamic, Malaysia, Mohd Damshal Damit briefed the 120 TAP employees, while the briefing on zakat was presented by Ustaz Muhammad Shukri Hj Ahmad.
