Silla University Produces Final Successful Candidates for the 60th Certified Tax Accountant Examination

3rd Year Student Jeong Seyoon, Department of Advertising and Public Relations Media

Jung Se-yoon, a third-year student in the Department of Advertising, Public Relations, and Video Media at Silla University (President Heo Nam-sik), has passed the final exam of the 60th Certified Tax Accountant (CTA) exam.

On November 15, 2023, the final list of successful candidates for the 60th CTA exam was announced, and Jung Se-yoon’s name appeared on the list. The CTA exam is known for its high difficulty level, with the final pass rate being less than 5% of the first-round examinees.

After being discharged from military service and returning as a second-year student, Jung Se-yoon chose the career path of a tax accountant during a counseling session with his academic advisor, Professor Moon Jae-hak.

Silla University’s career guidance program conducts regular one-on-one counseling sessions between academic advisors and students from the first year until graduation. It also offers group classes for enrolled students, which influence students’ career planning and employment or entrepreneurship, making it a popular credit-bearing course.

Jung Se-yoon said, “Although my study for the tax accountant exam started with many pieces of advice and active encouragement from my advisor, Professor Moon Jae-hak, I became interested by researching various aspects such as the profession of a tax accountant and the exam itself before preparing for the test.”

He also said, “Since 2020, I have been preparing seriously for the exam, and thanks to the consideration and various information provided by the department professors, I was able to prepare at school instead of attending a private academy.”

Jung Se-yoon plans to return to school in 2024 to complete his remaining university studies and pursue a master’s and doctoral degree at Silla University. He also expressed his intention to work diligently as a tax accountant to protect taxpayers’ rights.

Professor Moon Jae-hak, head of the Department of Advertising, Public Relations, and Video Media at Silla University and Jung Se-yoon’s academic advisor, said, “I supported Jung Se-yoon as the department head for over three years with the belief that he would pass, and I am happy and proud that it has resulted in such a good outcome.”
