The Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA)

The Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) has been developing the accounting profession in Malaysia for over five decades by providing accounting graduates with an avenue to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Since its establishment in 1958, MICPA has played a key role in the setting of accounting standards and technical advisory for the Malaysian regulatory bodies responsible for carving out the business and financial landscape of this nation. MICPA has 3,200 members and over 800 registered candidates. Members of the Institute are professionally qualified “certified public accountants” bearing the CPA qualification. The Institute is a founding member of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and has contributed significantly to sustaining the accounting profession nationally, as well as globally. MICPA has demonstrated its dedication in protecting public interest by promoting convergence to international standards through participation in the IFAC Compliance Program. MICPA in collaboration with Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) jointly offer the MICPA-CAANZ Programme - a dual qualification which grants its graduates memberships with both MICPA & CAANZ, carrying the titles Certified Public Accountant, Malaysia, and Chartered Accountant, Australia and New Zealand. Graduates also obtain the Global Accounting Alliance (GAA) Passport which provides them with membership support and recognition from 10 premier accounting bodies worldwide. MICPA-CAANZ professionals are trained and equipped with strong application and problem-solving skills which make them relevant and trusted advisors.
