Project activities of the Higher School of Finance and Accounting

Since 2018, students of the Higher School of Finance and Accounting (HSFA) majoring in “Finance” have been residents of the Business Incubator. Over the years, significant work has been carried out. A Consultation Request Registration Journal has been maintained. Meetings have been held with representatives of the business sector, including the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market, the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Financial Monitoring, second-tier banks, insurance companies, and investment firms, as well as with trainers. Additionally, residents actively participate in various scientific project competitions.
