    Why is the session of relevance to our members?

    The large majority of companies registered in Malta fall below the medium company threshold, meaning that a good portion of clients for accountants and auditors will follow this reporting framework. MIA members are therefore encouraged to attend the sessions to obtain or refresh their understanding of the main concepts that one needs to apply under GAPSME, as well as how these concepts differ from those applied under IFRSs.

      Target Audience

      The course is specifically targeted to accounting professionals and students, especially those who are pursuing or intend to pursue a career in audit or financial reporting.
