On the afternoon of the 29th of October, the 65th lecture of the Yang-En Grand Lecture Series was held in the Multi-Functional Lecture Hall of the First Teaching Area with the hopes of thoroughly implementing the requirements for high-quality development of higher education in the new era, deepening industry-education integration and the collaborative education mechanism, and enhancing faculty and students' systemic understanding of the national financial system and capital market. The keynote speaker was Professor Xu Yan from the School of Accountancy and faculty and students from the same school attended the lecture.


Based on the current practice of talent cultivation in accounting and finance majors, Xu Yan mentioned a number of problems found in students’ graduation thesis writing, cases studies, and academic competitions, including a lack of an in-depth understanding of the capital market, a narrow research perspective, and more. She emphasized the point that, as the core hub of the modern economic system, the capital market is an important platform connecting corporate financing, resource allocation, and macroeconomic policies. A deep understanding of its operational logic is of great significance for improving students' professional competence and expanding their career development space.
With respect to the historical evolution from a single market to a multi-tiered system, Professor Xu Yan comprehensively reviewed the development of our country's capital market since the reform and opening up, systematically outlining the functional positioning and development status of the main board, the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM), the Science and Technology Innovation Board, Beijing Stock Exchange, and regional equity markets. She focused on the interpretation of major institutional reforms, such as the registration-based IPO system, the optimization of the delisting mechanism, and the improvement of the information disclosure system. In combination with typical corporate listing cases, she analyzed in depth how companies at different stages of development can choose suitable financing channels and capital market paths based on their own characteristics.
When discussing future development trends, Professor Xu pointed out that with the deepening of the innovation-driven development strategy, the capital market will play a more important role in supporting technological innovation, serving small and medium-sized enterprises, and promoting green and low-carbon transformation. She encouraged young students to proactively pay attention to national strategic guidance and industry trends, solidify their professional knowledge, enhance their practical application abilities, and strive to grow into high-caliber financial talents with a global perspective, a sense of national responsibility, and innovative capabilities.
The 65th lecture of the Yang-En Grand Lecture Series is one of the important measures taken by the School of Accountancy to continuously promote educational and teaching-learning reforms and strengthen the construction of professional connotation. By building a high-level academic exchange platform, the school continuously promotes the deep integration of classroom teaching and industry practice, strives to make up for the shortcomings of traditional education that emphasizes knowledge transmission and neglects ability cultivation, and effectively enhances students' comprehensive competitiveness.
