The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and The Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) signed a global Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) on August 13, 2007.
The MRA has been reached on the basis of equivalence of qualifications and sound educational review of each other's syllabus. It provides a route for qualified members of either body to become a member of the other body, and to enjoy the benefits which both bodies can offer. The MRA also provides great opportunities for sharing knowledge, expertise and resources, all of which will help advance the reputation of both bodies.
Strong and meaningful international alliances such as this one are a very positive development for the profession as a whole and for the CPA Malaysia designation in particular. Both bodies share common and strong interests in the advancement of the profession of accountancy, especially in relation to the maintenance and strengthening of professional and educational standards, and the agreement provides a greater platform for collaboration and allows us to share best practices in education and training.
