Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) comprise a major segment of the Malaysian economy. Therefore, enhancing financial reporting compliance among SMEs is critical in order to attract investors and business, and to heighten regulation and good governance in the public interest.
To elevate financial reporting compliance, we must first upgrade technical competencies by improving the application of Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standards (MPERS) among SMEs.
This 1-day virtual Conference is specially designed to upskill SMEs on MPERS and bridge existing gaps. The Conference will provide a comprehensive overview of key MPERS sections and an in-depth understanding and interpretation of their principles. Participants will also benefit from practical guidance on the application of MPERS for SMEs’ financial reporting, especially the accounting concepts and treatments that may be unfamiliar to preparers and auditors.
The following are the sessions scheduled for the Conference which will be held on 28 June 2022:
