As part of the UNY Equity program, the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) UNY hosted a visiting professor event, featuring Prof. Ruzita Binti Jusoh from Universiti Malaya. The event took place from Monday to Wednesday, May 20-22, 2024, as part of the Business Budgeting course. Held on the 2nd floor of the Masters and Doctoral Lecture Hall (PMD) at FEB UNY, the program aimed to provide students with in-depth knowledge and practical insights into business budgeting and corporate work practices. This event specifically targeted students from the 4th semester of the Accounting Study Program at FEB UNY.

The public lecture welcomed both undergraduate and graduate students from the Accounting program, offering them the opportunity to engage in discussions with Prof. Ruzita on the complexities of budgeting within the public sector. Through these discussions, students gained a deeper understanding of the challenges involved in creating budgets for public sector projects.

Prof. Ruzita's presentation also covered the concept of capital budgeting, an essential tool for making long-term investment decisions in projects and programs. Capital budgeting helps to prioritize projects over multiple years by following six key stages: identification, exploration, information gathering and acquisition, selection, financial analysis, and implementation and control. (fitria)
