- Purpose: This round serves as a major filtering stage, designed to identify candidates with a strong grasp of fundamental accounting principles.
- Selection Ratio: Approximately 1 in 4 candidates will advance to the next round.
2. **Second Technical Round**:

This structured process ensures that only highly qualified candidates progress to the final evaluation.
