Accountancy skills shortage predicted in Malaysia

By 2020 it is estimated Malaysia will need 60,000 accountants to support its economy (source: financialtimes.com). Currently, Malaysia only has around 36,000 accountants and needs to increase this number, prompting a call for more accountants to be trained.

One company looking to help reduce the skills gap is Kaplan – specialising in accountancy and finance training with over 70 years international experience, last year they helped over 45,000 professionals towards their qualifications.

As the first Live Online course of its kind in Malaysia, Kaplan Live Online is a timely and convenient option for Malaysian accountants who wish to further their studies and careers. Kaplan Live Online allows you to attend a live tuition or revision lecture online from home, a café or library. These classes are all taught by experienced lecturers who are qualified accountants, and you can interact with them and other students to and ask questions. Kaplan offers ACCA & CIMA qualifications which are recognised around the world, and with courses starting from RM650, now may be the time to consider a career in accountancy.
