The dynamic and modern legal framework as proposed in the Companies Bill will replace the existing Companies Act (CA) 1965 which emanates from a significant law reform initiative that will enhance and add vibrancy to the business environment in Malaysia.

The proposed Companies Bill is a culmination of a 6-year comprehensive study and professional consultation engagement involving various critical stakeholders championed by the then Corporate Law Reform Committee (CLRC) which was established by Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) to review the core company law. Subsequent to this, the Accounting Issues Consultative Committee (AICC) which was established by SSM, conducted a study to streamline and modernize the provisions of the CA 1965 relating to accounting and financial reporting in view of the development of applicable approved accounting standards and global best practices of the industry.

Post CLRC and AICC review programmes, there were also other considerations that have helped to shape the new Companies Bill that came from various regulatory authorities, professional bodies as well as the World Bank’s Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) for Malaysia on Accounting and Audit and Corporate Governance, the OEDC’s Peer Review Report on Transparency and Exchange of Information and the Financial Action Task Force (on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (FATF).

On 2 July 2013, SSM released an exposure draft of the much awaited Companies Bill 2013 (“the Bill”) for public consultation. The proposed Bill consists of 5 parts, 631 clauses and 12 schedules as compared to the CA 1965 which is made up of 12 parts, 374 sections and 10 schedules. The proposed Bill will usher in many changes to the principal legislation that governs the formation, operation, termination and regulation of companies in Malaysia. The changes in the new Act will have far-reaching implications that are set to significantly change the manner in which companies operate in Malaysia.

OBJECTIVES OF SSMNC 2014• Provide an overview of the proposed Companies Bill.• Change mindset on how business will be conducted under the proposed Companies Bill. • Raise the level of understanding on the key amendments in the proposed Companies Bill. • Identify specific actions required under the new compliance and disclosure requirements.• Determine how to create sustainable competitive advantage. • Catalyze the creation of a conducive corporate governance ecosystem in the country under the new Companies Act regime.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING SSMNC 2014• Get the progress on the proposed Companies Bill up to the minute.• Discover who, what, why, when, where, how about the proposed Companies Bill.• Find out why the Companies Act 1965 needs to be revamped. • Transfer new-found knowledge from classroom to boardroom.• Find answers to your questions during the interactive panel discussion and network breaks. • Increase the opportunity to meet liked-minded colleagues and to network among businesses associates and representatives from SSM.

The dynamic and modern legal framework as proposed in the Companies Bill will replace the existing Companies Act (CA) 1965 which emanates from a significant law reform initiative that will enhance and add vibrancy to the business environment in Malaysia.

The proposed Companies Bill is a culmination of a 6-year comprehensive study and professional consultation engagement involving various critical stakeholders championed by the then Corporate Law Reform Committee (CLRC) which was established by Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) to review the core company law. Subsequent to this, the Accounting Issues Consultative Committee (AICC) which was established by SSM, conducted a study to streamline and modernize the provisions of the CA 1965 relating to accounting and financial reporting in view of the development of applicable approved accounting standards and global best practices of the industry.

Post CLRC and AICC review programmes, there were also other considerations that have helped to shape the new Companies Bill that came from various regulatory authorities, professional bodies as well as the World Bank’s Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) for Malaysia on Accounting and Audit and Corporate Governance, the OEDC’s Peer Review Report on Transparency and Exchange of Information and the Financial Action Task Force (on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (FATF).

On 2 July 2013, SSM released an exposure draft of the much awaited Companies Bill 2013 (“the Bill”) for public consultation. The proposed Bill consists of 5 parts, 631 clauses and 12 schedules as compared to the CA 1965 which is made up of 12 parts, 374 sections and 10 schedules. The proposed Bill will usher in many changes to the principal legislation that governs the formation, operation, termination and regulation of companies in Malaysia. The changes in the new Act will have far-reaching implications that are set to significantly change the manner in which companies operate in Malaysia.

OBJECTIVES OF SSMNC 2014• Provide an overview of the proposed Companies Bill.• Change mindset on how business will be conducted under the proposed Companies Bill. • Raise the level of understanding on the key amendments in the proposed Companies Bill. • Identify specific actions required under the new compliance and disclosure requirements.• Determine how to create sustainable competitive advantage. • Catalyze the creation of a conducive corporate governance ecosystem in the country under the new Companies Act regime.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING SSMNC 2014• Get the progress on the proposed Companies Bill up to the minute.• Discover who, what, why, when, where, how about the proposed Companies Bill.• Find out why the Companies Act 1965 needs to be revamped. • Transfer new-found knowledge from classroom to boardroom.• Find answers to your questions during the interactive panel discussion and network breaks. • Increase the opportunity to meet liked-minded colleagues and to network among businesses associates and representatives from SSM.

The dynamic and modern legal framework as proposed in the Companies Bill will replace the existing Companies Act (CA) 1965 which emanates from a significant law reform initiative that will enhance and add vibrancy to the business environment in Malaysia.

The proposed Companies Bill is a culmination of a 6-year comprehensive study and professional consultation engagement involving various critical stakeholders championed by the then Corporate Law Reform Committee (CLRC) which was established by Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) to review the core company law. Subsequent to this, the Accounting Issues Consultative Committee (AICC) which was established by SSM, conducted a study to streamline and modernize the provisions of the CA 1965 relating to accounting and financial reporting in view of the development of applicable approved accounting standards and global best practices of the industry.

Post CLRC and AICC review programmes, there were also other considerations that have helped to shape the new Companies Bill that came from various regulatory authorities, professional bodies as well as the World Bank’s Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) for Malaysia on Accounting and Audit and Corporate Governance, the OEDC’s Peer Review Report on Transparency and Exchange of Information and the Financial Action Task Force (on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (FATF).

On 2 July 2013, SSM released an exposure draft of the much awaited Companies Bill 2013 (“the Bill”) for public consultation. The proposed Bill consists of 5 parts, 631 clauses and 12 schedules as compared to the CA 1965 which is made up of 12 parts, 374 sections and 10 schedules. The proposed Bill will usher in many changes to the principal legislation that governs the formation, operation, termination and regulation of companies in Malaysia. The changes in the new Act will have far-reaching implications that are set to significantly change the manner in which companies operate in Malaysia.

OBJECTIVES OF SSMNC 2014• Provide an overview of the proposed Companies Bill.• Change mindset on how business will be conducted under the proposed Companies Bill. • Raise the level of understanding on the key amendments in the proposed Companies Bill. • Identify specific actions required under the new compliance and disclosure requirements.• Determine how to create sustainable competitive advantage. • Catalyze the creation of a conducive corporate governance ecosystem in the country under the new Companies Act regime.
