Description about the Education Committee:
The Education Committee (EDUC) works closely with the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), the National Accreditation Board (LAN), the institutions of higher learning, and other accounting professional bodies in enhancing and disseminating any development in accountancy education and the profession in Malaysia. The committee’s prime responsibility is to review the curriculum and syllabus of professional bodies and universities under the First Schedule of the Accountants Act 1967 in line with the International Education Standards (IES) issued by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), make recommendations to the MIA Council on the same and ensure compliance with the IFAC Statement of Membership Obligations 2 (SMO 2). At the same time, the EDUC contributes input to the IFAC International Accounting Education Standards Board and other relevant Committees within the Institute and/or any other professional bodies with regard to issues on globalisation and liberalisation of accountancy services and education standards.
