Added on April 15, 2012, 2:44 amI am wondering why there is no body talking about AIA (http://www.aiaworldwide.com)...

The AIA was founded in the UK in 1928 as a global accountancy body and now provides qualifications and services for over 7,000 Members and 8,500 Students, Graduates and Affiliates in over 85 countries worldwide.
AIA is recognised by the UK Government as a Recognised Qualifying Body for statutory auditors under the Companies Act 2006, as a Prescribed Body under the Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Act 2003 in the Republic of Ireland, and members qualified as a statutory auditor and registered with a Recognised Supervisory Body (RSB) are able to seek registration as a statutory auditor across the European Union. In the UK, AIA also has supervisory status for its members in the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 and has recognition to operate in the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) as an Awarding Body. The AIA professional qualification is currently recognised in over 30 countries worldwide.

There are quite a lot of Malaysian studying for these.
