Online Learning - International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

The Financial Reporting Foundation (FRF) and the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) have entered into an arrangement with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) to provide an online learning and assessment programme to Malaysian registrants through the FRF / MASB website, at a special rate for 2012 and 2013 only. This arrangement would enable Malaysians a good opportunity to enable themselves to be proficient in IFRSs.
