KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 (Bernama) — In January 2019, the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) and ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) jointly released the Business and Economic Outlook (BEO) Report 2019. MIA and ACCA found it timely to join the conversation and share accountants’ perspectives on the key challenges and opportunities for 2019. “As internal and external business advisors and decision makers, accountants are ideally placed to comment on the market outlook and provide guidance for public and private sector organisations,” said MIA CEO Dr. Nurmazilah Dato’ Mahzan.
Subsequently, MIA and ACCA organised follow-up roundtables with CFOs and accountants in public practice respectively to gather more data and insights for further action. The findings of these roundtables have been documented in the CFO Roundtable on BEO Report 2019 and the Practitioners’ Roundtable on BEO Report 2019.
