Did you know that Mt Kinabalu is almost half the height of Mt Everest, the highest mountain in the world?

Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) is organising a climb to the highest mountain in South East Asia, Mt. Kinabalu, Sabah from 24th to 26th September 2017 in conjunction with its 50th anniversary celebrations.

Climbers will spend a night in Kinabalu Park, Malaysia’s first World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO, before commencing the climb the next morning from Timpohon Gate (1,800m). Climbers will rest at Panalaban (3,273m) and the final climb will take you to the summit of the mountain, Low’s Peak (4,095 metres).  If you arrive before sunrise, you will be able to view the spectacular sunrise from the top of the mountain!

We would like to invite CIMA members, CIMA students, family and friends to join us in this adventure of a lifetime!

Effective and efficient tax collection is a key pillar supporting the nation’s socioeconomic development.

Moving forward, regulators have to improve GST governance and processes to ensure that taxpayers discharge their responsibility of paying tax while educating them on the importance and contribution of their taxes.

Since the inception of GST on 1 April 2015, the country has moved smoothly to accept the new consumption tax regime. As GST matures, it is expected that improved enforcement and governance will see an increase in GST collection as well as audit activity by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department to ensure compliance.

Our annual GST Conference, jointly organised by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants and the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, once again tracks the latest regulatory developments, best practices and challenges in applying the GST.

Find out more about how tax authorities are actively adapting their enforcement strategies, focus and policies to encourage compliance while stimulating business. At the same time, learn more about how businesses can balance regulatory compliance while delivering sustainable value to stakeholders.

Date: 18 & 19 September 2017 (Mon & Tue)
Time: 8.00am - 4.30pm
Venue: Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur
