KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 (Bernama) — Steered by the theme “Leading ESG, Charting Sustainability”, the MIA International Accountants Conference 2022 (MIA Conference 2022) sought to upskill accountants with future-relevant competencies to lead and support business sustainability in a landscape where climate-related risks and poor governance threaten the equilibrium of humanity and the planet.
The Conference was organised by the regulator and developer of the Malaysian accountancy profession, the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) from 8 – 9 June 2022 for the second year on a virtual platform. Recognised as one of the largest accountancy conferences, the Conference was officiated by Malaysia’s Finance Minister, YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz and drew close to 3,000 Malaysian and international delegates and over 70 expert speakers from around the world – including Bursa Malaysia Chairman Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar and the President of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), Alan Johnson – as well as global sponsors, supporters and partners.
