Introduction of myself

My name is Kouk Ping. I am now a Finance Manager of a plantation company.

I am married with 2 daughters and my wife is also a Finance Manager. She works in a public listed company in Kuching, Sarawak.

I graduated from University of Otago, New Zealand as Bachelor of Commerce (major in Accounting). I joined Ernst & Young, Kuching as Audit Assistant in December 1995. I left the firm in April 2000 and joined another local audit firm before I joined another Big 4 firm, KPMG in June 2001.

I was the Audit Manager before I left to join a public listed company in Kuching as Group Accountant in May 2005. I rejoined KPMG in January 2006 until April 2007. I worked in a steel bar manufacturer in April 2007 as Accounts and Finance Manager.

I left in May 2008 to join the current company as the Finance Manager.

This company is a plantation company. It cultivates oil palm and plan to sell the fresh fruit bunches later.

A lot of unique processes need to be performed for the planting. We need to clear the land, prepare for the site of nursery before we can plant the seeds to the field.

It will be a interesting experience for me.
