MERGERS AND AFFILIATIONS (M & A) LISTING

With the evolutionary changes in the accounting profession, it is timely for member firms to group together and take advantage of the many opportunities in a strong affiliation arrangement for growth potential. Smaller firms should seriously consider looking towards merging or at the very least, affiliating with their peers.

To encourage such an initiative, the Institute has an online register known as the Member Firms Merger and Affiliations Listing. This portal serves as a platform for member firms who would like to seek local mergers or affiliations, to advertise their intention through the e-portal. Likewise, interested firms could identify partners that meet their profile for alliances, mergers and affiliations through the e-portal. This service is provided on a complimentary basis.

Member firms who are interested to register on this listing are requested to provide relevant information in the Institute's website at http://www.mia.org.my/e-MERGER/. Member Firm Number and Password are required in order to be listed on the Merger and Affiliations Listing. To request for the password, please contact Nithya from MIA Help Desk at 03-2279 9308 or e-mail at password@mia.org.my.
