Personal Data Protection Act 2023

View Full Size

Personal Data Protection Act 2023 - Proposed Amendments

What is it Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)

The PDPA governs data usage and its security in Malaysia. It was tabled in 2010 and gazetted the same year, but only implemented in 2013.

The act is enforced by the Personal Data Protection Department. One of its main functions is to prevent data misuse in commercial transactions.

What it covers

Under the PDPA, data such as your full name, MyKad number, passport number and your email address are considered to be personal and sensitive information.

Other forms of data that fall under this category include photographs, images captured from CCTVs, religious and political beliefs, as well as personal documents like tax records.

Under the Act, a person is entitled to the following rights after sharing their data with an organisation:

The right to know if their data is being processed.
The right to access their personal data from the organisation’s database
The right to amend the data provided
The right to withdraw consent given to process one’s data
The right to stop any data processing activities that could cause damage or distress
The right to stop data processing activities for direct marketing

Proposed Amendments to the PDPA

The draft amendment to the PDPA to curb personal data breaches is expected to be presented in Parliament before the end of this year. It is rumored that it will be enacted by the end of October 2023.

Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the Personal Data Protection Department (JPDP) was looking at several improvements to the amendments prepared by the previous government before they were submitted to the Attorney-General's Chambers.

The proposed amendments are summarised as follows:

1. Mandatory appointment of a Data Protection Officer

All data users will each be required to appoint a data protection officer.

2. Data portability

Transfers of personal data between data users (upon request from data subjects) will be allowed (if the technical system permits).

3. Mandatory data breach notification

All data users will be required to report data breaches to the Malaysian Personal Data Protection Department (PDPD) within 72 hours.

4. Enhanced obligations for data processors

Data processors will be required to comply with the security principle under the PDPA.

5. Cross-border data transfer requirements

The power of the Minister to issue a whitelist will be replaced with a blacklist. Transfers of personal data to blacklisted countries will be prohibited.

Impacts On The Proposed Amendments in PDPA

Increase in penalties for misuse of data and non-compliance with PDPA in general.

Designate the Malaysian Personal Data Protection Department as a statutory commission with enforcement power.

UN Sustainable Development Goals Part 1

View Full Size

UN Sustainable Development Goals

Why is it important to talk about sustainability?

The fundamental fact underlying the whole topic is this: over the last century the population of the Earth increased from 1.5 to 7 billion people. Thus, building an inclusive, sustainable and resilient future for all people and our planet has become a big challenge for humanity.

What is sustainability?

It is defined as “Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

UN SDG 17

The UN SDGs set out a path to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect the planet. Achieving the goals will require an unprecedented effort by all sectors in society, including businesses.

SDG 1 : No Poverty

SDG 1 is to: ''End poverty in all its forms everywhere''. Achieving SDG 1 would end extreme poverty globally by 2030. The goal has seven targets and 13 indicators to measure progress.

SDG 2 : Zero Hunger

Goal 2 seeks sustainable solutions to end hunger in all its forms by 2030 and to achieve food security. The aim is to ensure that everyone everywhere has enough good-quality food to lead a healthy life. Achieving this Goal will require better access to food and the widespread promotion of sustainable agriculture

SDG 3 : Good Health and Well Being

SDG 3 aims to prevent needless suffering from preventable diseases and premature death by focusing on key targets that boost the health of a country's overall population. Regions with the highest burden of disease and neglected population groups and regions are priority areas.

SDG 4 : Quality Education

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

SDG 5 : Gender Equation

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.

SDG 6 : Clean Water & Sanitation

Ensure access to water and sanitation for all. While substantial progress has been made in increasing access to clean drinking water and sanitation, billions of people—mostly in rural areas—still lack these basic services.

Residential Tenancy Act Malaysia

View Full Size

What is Residential Tenancy Act Malaysia?

The proposed Residential Tenancy Act (RTA) by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) will change the rental market in Malaysia.

There is no specific legal framework for landlords and tenants in Malaysia now.

The Objectives of RTA are to :

protect homeowners’ and tenants’ rights.
prepare a uniform template for the residential tenancy agreement.
establish a tribunal to resolve disputes between homeowners and tenants.
set a notice period for tenants to move out.

Security and Utility Deposits

An RTA proposes a two-month deposit and a one-month utility deposit.

An RTA proposes deposits to be “parked” with a government agency.

This is to ensure that the authorities would be able to address any conflict between landlords and tenants later on.

In the event that no other expenses have been incurred, the security deposit would then be returned to the tenant once the tenancy agreement expires.

Concerns

Why park the deposits received with a government agency?
How long will the agency refund the deposit upon termination/expiration of tenancy period?

Why do auditors audit related party transactions?

View Full Size

Why do auditors audit related party transactions?

Theoretically, related party transactions carry no higher risk to the financial statement if compared to those unrelated.

But why the auditor is so concerned about related party transactions?

This is because the nature of related party transactions may present a greater opportunity for collusion, concealment, or manipulation by management, resulting in a false result in the financial statements.

Responsibilities of auditor

The auditor shall: -

1. Identify and assess the Risks

2. Responses to the Risks

3. Evaluate the accounting treatment and disclosure

To conclude whether the related party transactions achieve fair presentation and are not misleading

Here are some examples of what auditor may need to inspect, which entity can generate internally: -

1. Minutes of meetings

2. Statements of conflicts of interest

3. Contracts and agreements

4. Invoices and correspondence from the entity’s professional advisors

5. Reports of the internal audit function

What is the royalty based method of intangible assets valuation?

View Full Size

What is the royalty based method of intangible assets valuation?

The relief from royalty (RFR) approach is based on the idea that the fair value of an intangible asset equals the present value of the cost savings realized by the owner of the asset that results from not having to pay royalties for the use of the intangible asset to another party.

Relief from royalty method under income approach on trade names, brands and technology assets.

There is various legislation governing IP rights available in Malaysia from the Patents Act, Industrial Design Act, Trade Mark Act & Copyright Act

In short, the RFR is based on the measurement of the license payments, from a market database, which has been saved as a consequence of having ownership of the assets.

Six steps on relief from royalty methods

Step 1: Set the preliminary

1.1 Purpose of valuation
1.2 Standard or basis of value (market vs investment vs liquidation value)
1.3 Premise of value

Step 2: Understand the subject intangible assets

Step 3: Estimate economic benefits (revenue projection)

Step 4: Estimate hypothetical royalty rate

4.1 25% on gross margin, profit margin, EBIT, OPM, EBITDA

The “25 percent rule” is a general rule of thumb that suggests, as a starting point in a negotiation, that a licensee would pay 25 percent of its expected profits as a royalty for products that incorporate the licensed intellectual property (IP)

4.2 Industry royalty rate: RoyaltySource

RoyaltySource has been tracking intellectual property news and licenses related to technology (patent, know-how, trade secret, and business method), software, trademark, trade name, brand or logo, copyright and right of publicity for 30 years..

https://www.royaltysource.com

4.3 Company disclosures: Audited financial statement, paid subscription (Bloomberg, S&P Capital IQ), Free (Yahoo Finance, Bursa, Malaysiastock.biz)

4.4 Transactional approach

Step 5: Estimate discount rate

5.1 Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
5.2 Cost of equity = R (risk free) + beta {R(market)-R(risk free)}

Step 6 : Calculation (to be continued)

Will you slap your auditor just like Will Smith in Oscar 2022

Are auditors happy?

Auditors are one of the least happy careers in the United States. At CareerExplorer, we conduct an ongoing survey with millions of people and ask them how satisfied they are with their careers. As it turns out, auditors rate their career happiness 2.5 out of 5 stars which puts them in the bottom 4% of careers.

How stressful is auditing?

Auditing is considered a stressful occupation because the job is often characterized by heavy workloads, many deadlines, and time pressures.

Is auditing exciting?

Although auditing is sometimes jokingly described as a not-so-exciting career involving a lot of long hours, the truth is that it offers both variety and opportunities for continued development.

What is busy season for auditors?

When is busy season? In the audit practice, this period of time occurs every year from March to July, but that timeline can depend on when your client's fiscal year-end is and whether they are a public or private company.

How do you survive a busy season (a per AICPA)?

Early on
Send up a flare. Remind family, friends, and the rest of your circle about what's going on in your work life. ...
Pass the torch. Let someone else be the social chair. ...
Holster that phone. ...
Make sure you're reachable. ...
Make time to recharge. ...
Eat in. ...
Prepare for letdown. ...
Bank some sanity.

When is busy season end?

Regardless of what field of accounting you are in, busy season usually falls in the third quarter of the year. The reason for this is that most companies traditionally have a December 31st year end.

Difference between ISQC 1 & ISQM 1

View Full Size

Difference between ISQC 1 & ISQM 1

The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) issued three Quality Management standards in December 2020.

The three new interrelated standards, which replace International Standard on Quality Control (ISQC) 1 and International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 220, are effective 15 December 20221.

They are:

International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1, which deals with a firm’s responsibilities to design, implement and operate a system of quality management for audits or reviews of financial statements, or other assurance or related services engagements.

ISQM 2, which deals with the appointment and eligibility of the engagement quality reviewer, and the engagement quality reviewer’s responsibilities relating to the performance and documentation of an engagement quality review.

ISA 220 (Revised), which deals with the specific responsibilities of the auditor regarding quality management at the engagement level for an audit of financial statements, and the related responsibilities of the engagement partner.

Today we cover the difference between the old and new standards :

My, Sharanya Vijayan, first day at work in KTP

Starting a new job is truly exciting, but we might also feel nervous ahead of our first day job. Even though I have been working for 14 years down the road, venturing to a newer job, never ceased to evoke my anxiety, well which induced my non-stop sneezing and sore throat since yesterday morning.

Surprised me as I used to have this only when I am entering the exam hall.

In the excitement and having a mixture of anxiety, I woke up at 5 am to have a cup of coffee and tried to compose myself by watching my all-time favourite “The Good Wife” – never failed to boost my day thou. And yes, a pep talk from my husband.

I enjoyed the journey coming to work and even though my house is a bit further from Taman Molek, seeing my husband’s happiness that I am going to grow with the company and learn more to enhance my ACCA, skills, and knowledge – Pasir Gudang Traffic is not going to break us at anyways.

My first step in KTP office

Upon arrival, after a small breakfast the nearby café, I felt the warm welcoming from Anissa ( the admin sweet girl ). I have seen Jothi virtually and many times have spoken over the phone, but to my amusement, I was not expecting a bubbly but informative person to guide me and the other intern girl called Christine. I enjoyed the most to do the vide greetings as I believe it’s a great way to have an ice breaking session.

Orientation @ KTP

I will not deny that I enjoyed getting all the policies’ warming up sessions, the ‘Dos’ and ‘Don’ts’ , the MSI setup as well accessing to the outlook, tutoring the SOPs, walking us the cultures, showing all the areas, the most prime : sharing her positive opinions about KTP.

Giving me some books ( The seven spiritual laws of success, FISH, Who moved my cheese ) and allocated me a task of reading them and do a summary ( either via video or writing ) – well that task surely amazed me more. As a devoted reader and blogger as well a conveyer of my reading and writing contents to others – I will not deny how much I am thrilled and at the same time how much it has amazed me about the KTP culture- the emphasizing the holistic knowledge growth amongst staffs.

For many years, me running the HR head ( as in general affairs and customer service ), it’s a nice feeling to be the other side after sometime to get tutored and educate about company’s policies, and me listening without any judgements or having a skeptical way of thinking that been guided by a young person ( younger than me ) – were more exciting.

Seeing her, shows me how much KTP has shaped her to be a better leader and enhanced her skills to be a great trainer too.

After settling down, going through all the systems ( before my lunch break ), I liked them a lot! Me being a detailed orientated individual and system follower as well policies’ maker along with employment handbook setter- KTP’s investment in these areas, is a great cushion to have a great working system.

More confidence of mine to excel in ACCA has been instilled and more enthusiasm been moulded to give my utmost best to KTP and grow with them.

My official meeting with the boss of KTP

As talking to Mr Koh at 2.00pm, listening to his objectives and motives: despite I spoke lesser as I was focused about listening to his contents – I can see how much he gives importance to critical thinking as well the enhancement importance he gives towards a positive driven working culture are very significant aspects that he expects to be adhered by all the staffs.

I would like to have my understandings to be polished by Mr Koh as per my opinion, he is a leader who wants his fellow members to be in the right directions at all times.

The humbles in me being more evoked and the curiosity of learning has been instilled in a larger scale now.

Happy to be part of this reputable organization.
