Participants engaged in thought-provoking discussions on best practices, technological integration, and the future of finance in the FMCG landscape.

Dr. Bhuiyan's presence as Chief Guest underscored FRC's ongoing commitment to promoting high-quality financial reporting and its support for capacity-building initiatives in Bangladesh’s corporate sector.
