ACCA signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) to support the Malaysian government's aim to increase the number of qualified accountants in Malaysia.
The agreement was renewed on 21 April 2021 to provide an incentivised pathway for eligible MIA members to obtain the ACCA membership. This special pathway is in force until 23 May 2024.
ACCA will provide a blanket exemption of nine papers from the ACCA Qualification. These exemptions are listed as follows:
Applied Knowledge
Applied Skills
ACCA will waive the exemption fees for nine papers (from Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills) and initial registration fee, worth at least GBP1031 (approximately RM6,000, depending on the current exchange rates).
Eligible MIA members are only required to complete four Strategic Professional exams and the Ethics and Professional Skills Module (EPSM) to obtain the ACCA Qualification.
Strategic Professional (Essentials)
Professional Options (select two)
Ethics and Professional Skills Module (EPSM)
You are encouraged to complete this before attempting Strategic Professional exams.
