This recommended practice guide sets out the basis of establishing a reasonable level of remuneration, commensurate with the provision of professional assurance services of an acceptable and recognized standard.  A reasonable level of remuneration will encourage the practitioners to maintain and upgrade the quality of services rendered.

In developing this practice guide, MIA had conducted the following due process:

  • Determining the issues at hand
  • Research into current practice within and outside Malaysia
  • Consultation with various stakeholders
  • Consultation with relevant regulatory authorities, where appropriate

 
Although the RPG 7 was removed by the Council from the website in order to uphold the spirit of the Competition Act (CA) 2010 and not breach any of its provisions, yet it will still become part of our guideline in establishing our audit fees.
