TRUST AND SUSTAINABILITY IN A DIGITAL ECONOMY

This is a condensed version of an article that was first published in MIA’s e-AT – Click on https://www.at-mia.org,my/2019/06/12/Trust-and-Sustainabilty-in-a-Digital-Economy to learn more.

The MIA International Accountants Conference (MIAC) 2019 organised by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants drew a record 3,300 delegates, firmly entrenching the event as the largest gathering of accountants in the country.

But size was not the only milestone. The MIAC 2019 put pressing issues such as climate change front and centre, while exhorting the profession to pursue digital transformation and champion good governance to nurture sustainable growth and inspire public trust. The following are some key messages from the MIAC 2019:

• Boosting Malaysia’s Digital Economy. The digital economy has grown tremendously. In its first-ever Digital Economy Report 2019, the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimated that the size of the world digital economy ranged from 4.5 to 15.5 per cent of world GDP.

Although China and the United States are dominating the digital economy with an almost 40% share of global value added in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector, UNCTAD noted that in terms of share of GDP, the digital economy sector is the largest in Taiwan Province of China, Ireland and Malaysia. “This is evidence that Malaysia’s policies and initiatives to strengthen the digital economy are bearing fruit,” said MIA CEO Dr. Nurmazilah in her opening remarks at the MIAC 2019.

In his keynote address at the MIAC 2019, YB Senator Dr. Radzi Jidin, Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs urged accountants to embrace digital skills and digital literacy. “As accounting services are one of the core professional services to be focused on in the 12th Malaysia Plan 2021-2025, the profession will play a tremendous role in driving and supporting the development of the digital economy,” he said, adding that the nation was counting on a digital boost.

• Take a Strong Stance on Climate Change and Sustainability. The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) as the global voice of the profession strongly supports the Paris Agreement, which provides a clear framework for international action for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and calls for increased investment and innovation in climate action to curb GHGs and keep global warming below the critical 2 degrees Celsius threshold.

MIA as an IFAC member organisation will align its initiatives with IFAC in order to support the transition to a low-carbon society and combat climate change. Dr. Nurmazilah urged accountants to drive better accountability and disclosure that can change organisational behaviour to become more sustainable. “In a nutshell, accountants can fight climate change by doing what we do best: assessing and monitoring, measuring and disclosing, communicating this information to influence better decisions and actions, and reporting and providing assurance for public trust.”

MIA’s advocacy for Integrated Reporting ‹IR› as a game changer in communications and building trust will be pivotal in improving disclosure that informs investor and business decisions affecting climate change.

• Strengthening Trust in the Profession. “Trust is a valuable asset for all institutions and organisations, and ongoing trust-building activities should be one of the most important strategic priorities for every organisation. Trust is one of the key ingredients of success in the digital economy,” said Dr. Nurmazilah.

To further improve competency, accountability and trust, it is important that public institutions provide accurate and complete financial and non-financial information. “By utilising our expertise in stewardship and reporting to strengthen transparency and accountability, accountants can help to rebuild good governance and hence strengthen trust in public institutions to bridge the trust deficit,” she concluded.

The Companies Act 2016 (CA2016) requires that shares issued must have no par value, liberalising share buyback provision.

WORKSHOP 1: AUDIT OPINION & REPORTING–ISA 700 (REVISED) AND OTHER ISAs (REVISED)

The Auditor’s Report is the auditor’s primary means of communication with an entity’s stakeholders. As such, it has to be meaningful and have value to them. More than ever, users of audited financial statements are calling for more pertinent information for their decision-making in today’s global business environment with increasingly complex financial reporting requirements.

The global financial crisis has triggered questions concerning the quality of audits, their effectiveness and the role of professional judgment and skepticism. Can the Auditor’s Report be enhanced to provide more meaning and value for investors and other stakeholders?

OBJECTIVESThis two-day course deals with the auditor’s responsibility to form an opinion on the financial statements. It also deals with the form and content of the auditor’s report as a result of an audit of financial statements in accordance with ISA 700 (Revised). ISA 701 deals with the auditor’s responsibility to communicate key audit matters in the auditor’s report. ISA 705 (Revised) and ISA 706 (Revised) deal with how the form and content of the auditor’s report are affected when the auditor expresses a modified opinion or include an ‘Emphasis of Matter’ paragraph or an ‘Other Matter’ paragraph in the auditor’s report.

Other ISAs including ISA 570 (Revised) and ISA 260 (Revised) contain reporting requirements that are applicable when issuing an auditor’s report. This course will also deal with the ISA 720 (Revised) on The Auditor’s Responsibilities Relating to Other Information.

METHODOLOGYPowerPoint presentation, lectures and discussion.

Governance, ISA 260 (Revised)• Other Information reporting in

accordance with ISA 720 (Revised)

WORKSHOP 2: AUDIT DOCUMENTATION FOR ISA COMPLIANCE

ISA 230 deals with the auditor’s responsibility to prepare documentation for an audit of financial statements (referred to as working papers) and audit documentation. It also facilitates the planning, performance, and supervision of an engagement and is a factor in determining the quality of an audit by providing reviewers with documented evidence supporting the auditor’s conclusions.

ISA 500 explains what constitutes audit evidence in an audit of financial statements and deals with the auditor’s responsibility to design and perform audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to be able to draw reasonable conclusions based on their opinion. The process of obtaining and preparing sufficient and appropriate documentation contributes significantly to the quality of an audit.

OBJECTIVES• Determine the audit documentation

requirements of ISA 230• Relate what constitutes sufficient

appropriate audit evidence in ISA 500• Apply these requirements in practical

situations• Identify specific audit documentation

requirements in other ISAs• Relate and understand the relationship

between audit documentation and audit quality in ISQC 1
