In February 2009, The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) and The Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) entered into an agreement that will encourage high-level standards for education and continuous training across national borders.
Global connections are now a part of everyday business and as a result, international accounting has becoming increasingly important. Collaborative agreements, such as this one, will equip the accounting profession to manage the dynamic challenges of globalisation.
Malaysian students will follow an almost identical course of study to their counterparts completing the Chartered Accountants Programme in Australia, by completing four common modules. A unique feature of the revised MICPA Programme is the taxation module, reflecting Malaysian taxation regulations and providing greater relevance for accountants working in Malaysia. Upon satisfactory completion of the examinations and other admission requirements, the student will be eligible to be admitted as a member of MICPA and ICAA.
The revised MICPA Programme opens doors to a world of opportunities as the Pogramme builds on the profession’s traditional strengths while focusing on the needs of modern business. It is designed to train future CPAs as professional business partners.
