Sorry, just out of curiosity — why do you say that?
Isn’t accounting considered a white-collar profession regulated by professional bodies like the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA), which requires Continuing Professional Development (CPD), similar to doctors, architects, and engineers?
From a quick check, MIA mandates 20 CPD hours annually and 60 hours over a 3-year cycle.
If CPD is required, wouldn’t that help ensure accountants remain professionally competent and stay updated on regulatory changes, tax laws, auditing standards, and financial reporting frameworks? Doesn’t that make them more hirable, as they continuously keep their knowledge current and relevant to the field?
Because to a lot of people accounting is just being a book keeper. Just like doctor but we know a gp earns way less than say a neurosurgeon.Isn’t accounting considered a white-collar profession regulated by professional bodies like the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA), which requires Continuing Professional Development (CPD), similar to doctors, architects, and engineers?
