History

IBS was originally set up in 1989 by entrepreneur Mick Nades. It provided revision classes for the Papua New Guinea Institute of Accountants (PNGIA) professional exams, at which time none existed. At its inception, there were only nine qualified Papua New Guinean Accountants amongst the cohort of 300+ Commerce/Accounting graduates from the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) and the University of Technology (UNITECH). IBS produced the first two female Accountants of Papua New Guinea. The Institute’s objective was to enhance the prospects for Papua New Guineans to study and further their careers in Accounting, Business and Computing.
