Singapore to assist Myanmar's accountancy sector

The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants will also train accountants on micro accounting.

The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Myanmar Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) to co-develop Myanmar's accountancy profession.

According to a press release, capability-building programmes will be implemented.

The programmes will include training on Principles of Accounting, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), IFRS for SMEs, and continuous professional education classes on topical issues and trends.

ISCA will also conduct training on the ISCA Audit Manual and Micro Accounting Model. ISCA developed the Micro Accounting Model (MAM) to provide micro entities in emerging and developing countries with a framework to transit from cash accounting to accrual accounting and to prepare reliable financial statements.

Myanmar and Singapore can also look forward to more new business opportunities as efforts have been made to help small and medium practices (SMPs) from both sides to interact and build professional networks, ISCA said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
