Life Impact Profile "I joined Marubeni International Petroleum (S) Pte Ltd ("MIPCO") as Controller and assumed position of General Manager in 2000. I decided to find a programme that would meet my criteria of (1) good financial training from a reputable institution, (2) fit in my busy schedule, and, (3) is affordable. Having completed the required 10 modules in about 2 years, I must credit this all to a combination of desperate prayers for understanding, hard work and more hard work, mostly good lecturers who are able to deliver the convoluted concepts in understandable terms, the ever helpful classmates and supportive admin staff from NAAEC." Andrew Chan MAF (Adel) General Manager Marubeni International Petroleum (S) Pte Ltd
