Accounting grads get head start to professional qualifications

KUALA SELANGOR: Towards meeting Malaysia's requirement for 60,000 qualified accountants by 2020, two memoranda of understanding (MoU) were exchanged today between Talent Corporation Malaysia Bhd TalentCorp), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and two professional accounting bodies - CPA Australia and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).

To accelerate the progression of accounting students to become professionally qualified accountants, the MoUs will pave the way for Malaysian students in local universities to start their journey to become chartered accountants while still in university.
