Final Year Accounting Students’ Field Visit to IDB Industrial Estate – Panaluwa
The Department of Accountancy organized an educational field visit for the final-year accounting students on the 07th of July 2025 to the Industrial Development Board (IDB) Industrial Estate, Panaluwa. The visit was aimed at providing students with practical exposure to the operations of industrial enterprises and enhancing their understanding of how accounting and management concepts are applied in real business environments.
During the visit, students were able to observe various industrial activities and interact with professionals from different enterprises located within the estate. The exposure also helped students understand how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) contribute to the national economy and the role of financial management in ensuring their sustainability. The visit was a valuable learning experience that bridged the gap between theory and practice, offering insights beyond the classroom. Students gained a deeper appreciation of the challenges faced by industries and how effective accounting practices can support efficiency and growth.
The Department of Accountancy extends its gratitude to the Industrial Development Board and the management of the Panaluwa Industrial Estate for their cooperation and support in making this visit a success.
