FRS and Corporate Reporting

Financial reporting is no longer just about balancing the books, it’s a public responsibility with global impact.

Helping your transition
to the new FRS environment*

The new Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) became a reality for non-private entities in Malaysia w.e.f. 1 January 2006. For public listed companies with a 31 December 2006 year-end, the 1st quarter announcement on 31 May 2006 will be the first published results under FRS.

All players in the corporate reporting supply chain shoulder equal responsibility

The new FRS focuses on greater use of fair values and increased transparency in financial statements and revealing to investors, other key areas like disclosure of estimations and judgements based on business strategies and decision outcomes. However, the transition to the new FRS environment is not expected to be a straightforward process nor, is it likely to be just a technical exercise for the finance function. Do not underestimate the sheer volume and complexity of the work involved.
