The month-long virtual engagements seek to equip business owners with financial growth skills and knowledge to foster business sustenance and voluntary compliance.
According to URA, the month-long virtual engagements are designed to educate business owners about financial growth and voluntary compliance, and they’ve been combined with skills to help organizations succeed in the new normal.
The first episode of the summits focused on survival through the pandemic with deep conversations on business financing and alternative skills adoption by sectors grossly affected by the #Covid-19.
The discussants were Private Sector Foundation Uganda’s Ruth Biyinzika, the Managing Director Centenary Bank Fabian Kasi and Pricewaterhousecoopers Crystal Kabajwara moderated by NBS Television’s Mildred Tuhaise.
URA started the e-bomba ya business summits in 2019 as one of the poster activities of the Taxpayers Appreciation Month to equip business owners with necessary skills for financial growth.
The first Bomba Ya Business summits attended by hundreds of business people were held at Kololo independence grounds but due to the pandemic, the summits have since gone virtual.
