KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the appointment of Datuk Zaiton Mohd Hassan as president of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) should serve as an inspiration and motivation for more Malaysians to achieve success on the international stage.

In a congratulatory message posted on Facebook, Anwar said her appointment to lead the globally recognised professional accountancy body was a recognition of Zaiton's leadership, extensive experience and contributions to the fields of finance and accountancy.

He said these included her efforts to broaden access and opportunities for young people to pursue careers in the profession.

“Her leadership is also expected to further strengthen professional standards, expand opportunities for talent development and prepare the accountancy profession for an increasingly evolving economic and technological landscape,” he said.

Zaiton, who is the chief executive officer of the Malaysia Professional Accountancy Centre, is the first Malay to lead ACCA.

ACCA represents more than 266,000 members and 546,000 future members in 179 countries.

Zaiton was elected to the ACCA Council in 2016 before going on to serve as vice-president and deputy president. During her tenure, she worked with ACCA members across the Asia-Pacific region and globally.

Her professional career began at PricewaterhouseCoopers, and she was also involved in the establishment of a national credit rating agency.

She is also the GX Bank chairman and holds several board positions and advisory roles in governance and professional development.
