ACCA Malaysia introduced SMP100, a network for professionals in small and medium practices (SMPs) to share industry insights and grow to meet the evolving demands of their primary customers – SMEs.
The aim is to grow the network to hundreds of like-minded practitioners. Since its inception in Malaysia in June 2020, SMP100 is growing steadily to achieve its first hundred firms in 2021.
Virtual programmes are put together monthly with various partners to support SMPs in the areas of improving attractiveness to prospective clients and talents, enhancing audit quality, digitalisation, actionable insights, branding, leadership skills, practice management, quality management, diversity and sustainability.
To support working capital needs of members in SMPs affected by the pandemic, as part of SMP100, ACCA Malaysia facilitated financing facilities through a multinational bank headquartered in Malaysia.
Furthermore, a Technology-aided Audit Programme (or ‘TAP’) – a series of practical audit workshops infused with automation and cloud technology to help was is being rolled out to help SMPs improve audit quality and efficiency.
