National Accountants Conference 2006

The National Accountants Conference (NAC) 2006, themed “Accountants: Generating Growth, Building Confidence” was organised by MIA from 31 October 2006 – 1 November 2006 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. It attracted the participation on approximately 1,800 participants. It was officiated by YB Dato' Dr Awang Adek Hussin, Deputy Minister of Finance II.

At the conference, MIA’s president Abdul Rahim Abdul Hamid also signed a mutual recognition agreement with the Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IAI)’s president Ahmadi Hadibroto. The objective of the MRA was to provide for the mutual recognition of both parties of the other’s membership.

In the evening of the first day, the delegates were treated to a hi-tea session which was followed by a live-performance by The Three Degrees. They are remembered as the artistes who sang the song “ When Will I See You Again’ back in the 1970s.
