1. Embrace a Learning Mindset

Take every task as a chance to learn and grow, and actively seek feedback from your supervisors and colleagues.

In the fast-paced world of audit and tax, efficient time management is crucial. Learn to prioritize tasks effectively, set realistic deadlines, and allocate your time accordingly.

4. Nurture Effective Communication Skills

Strong communication skills are essential in any professional setting. As an intern, you will interact with team members, clients, and stakeholders at various levels.

Depression in Workplace

#depression in the workplace often presents subtly and quietly.

Here are those signs of depression in the workplace :

1. Constant fatigue.

2. Lack of focus.

3. Decreased productivity.

4. Becoming withdrawn or irritable.

5. Less interest in tasks once enjoyed.

6. Persistent lateness.

7. Frequent sick days or extended breaks.

8. Inability to make decisions.

9. Excessive worry about minor issues.

10. Changes in appetite or weight.

11. Discussing feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness.

Final Words

While each symptom alone might not suggest #depression, a combination of these could be an indication that you are are battling this mental health condition.

If you feel not comfortable, discuss your situation with your manager, HR or me. #depressionsupport

RIP Coco Lee.

How To Give Effective Feedback

As the group principal of the Firm, my role goes beyond overseeing daily tasks. I am responsible for guiding and developing our fellow colleagues to achieve their fullest potential.

One of the most crucial aspects of this process is providing #constructivefeedback. Feedback serves as a valuable tool for growth, and to ensure its effectiveness, the BIC (Behavior, Impact, Change) method can be employed.

BIC Tools

The BIC framework allows me to deliver feedback in a clear, objective, and constructive manner. By focusing on behavior, impact, and change, we create an environment that promotes continuous improvement and open communication.

Let's explore this approach using a hypothetical scenario:

Imagine a situation where a colleague, John, consistently misses assignment deadlines. Instead of resorting to criticism, the BIC method enables me to provide feedback that facilitates positive change.

Here's how BIC can be applied:

1️⃣ Behavior: Begin by identifying the specific behavior we observed. For example, ''John, I've noticed that you have missed three assignment deadlines in the past month.''

Be a factual statement instead of an opinion statement

2️⃣ Impact: Explain the impact of the behavior on the team or assignment. For instance, ''This delay has caused setbacks in the overall assignment timeline and put additional pressure on your colleagues.''

3️⃣ Change: Suggest the desired change and provide support. ''To ensure smooth workflow and timely delivery, it would be beneficial if you could prioritize and manage your time more effectively. I can offer assistance in setting realistic deadlines and exploring time management techniques.''

Benefits of BIC tools

By utilizing the BIC method, we can shift the focus from blame to improvement, encouraging open dialogue and professional development. It fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility within fellow colleagues, empowering them to make positive changes in their work habits.

Remember, the key to effective feedback lies in providing clear, specific, and actionable insights. The BIC method equips managers with a structured approach to nurture growth and development within their teams.

By implementing this tool, we create an environment that fosters continuous learning, collaboration, and overall success.

Key Amendments to the Employment Act 1955 (wef 1/1/2023)

Definition of employment

1. Employee earning RM4000 and below *

2. Employee in manual labour

3. Supervisor of employee in manual labour

4. Employee in mechanically propelled vehicle

5. Domestic employee

*Provision of the Act not applicable include overtime, payment for work done on off/rest day and public holidays, shift allowance and termination benefits for employee’s wages exceeds RM4000.

Presumption of employment

The Bill provides that in the absence of a written contract and unless proven otherwise, there will be presumption of an employment relationship if the following factors are given:

• his/her work or hours of work are subject to control by another person;

• he/she is equipped with tools, material or equipment by another person to execute his work;

• his/her work constitutes an integral part of another person's business;

• his/her work is performed solely for the benefit of another person; or

• payment is made to him/her for work done at regular intervals and it constitutes the majority of his/her income.

Apprenticeship Contract

Shall be for a minimum period of six months and a maximum period of twenty four months.

Calculation of wages for an incomplete month

The Bill provides a new section in the Act that introduces the below formula for calculating wages where an employee has not worked a full month:

(Monthly wages/number of days of the particular wage period ) X Number of days eligible in the wages period

For OT (or encashment of annual leave) : ordinary rate of pay (ie 26 days) remain unchanged under the current law.

Extension of maternity leave

Previously, the Act provided a 60 days maternity leave for all female employees, subject to the conditions of the Act. Now, when the Bill comes into force, eligible female employees will be entitled to 98 days of maternity leave.

Restriction on termination of pregnant employees

The Bill introduces a new section in the EA which prohibits an employer from terminating an employee who is pregnant or is suffering from an illness arising out of her pregnancy, except under specific circumstances such as willful breach of contract, misconduct or closure of the employer’s business. It is vital on employers to prove that the termination was not due to pregnancy.

Paternity Leave

Married male employees will now be entitled to 7 consecutive days of paternity leave up to 5 confinements.

Sexual harassment

The Bill introduces a new section which requires employers to conspicuously exhibit a notice to raise awareness of sexual harassment in the workplace. The sexual harassment provisions are still viewed as weak and limited. The Anti Sexual Harassment Bill 2021 would provide more guidelines upon being passed. It is currently in its first reading in Parliament.

Employment of foreign employees

Approval must be obtained from the Director-General of Labor to employ a foreign employee. Upon the employer satisfying the conditions listed in the Act, approvals are granted. Failure to obtain an approval is an offense, and on conviction, the employer shall be liable to a fine not exceeding RM 100,000 and/or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.

Reduction on working hours

Previously, the Act provided 48 hours as regular working hours. With the Bill coming into force, the regular working hours will be reduced to 45 hours a week.

Flexible working arrangements

Employees can apply for flexible working arrangement, depending on the suitability of the working hours or work place. However, there is no legal obligation on the employer to grant this request. If the employer is to reject the request, they are required to provide grounds of refusal within 60 days of the application.

Discrimination

The Director General has the authority to investigate and decide disputes on discrimination in employment between employer and employee. Furthermore, the Director General has the power to make an order where necessary. However, this provision is vague and it does not define discrimination. Job seekers will not be able to rely on this provision as there is no employment relationship between an employer and job seekers, and as such this provision will not apply to protect job seekers from discrimination.

Horror Story in Accounting Firm

Is working in an accounting firm a stressful job?

Below is an uncensored horror story from our colleagues from our Peak 2022 :

• Client call me the status today when they book in yesterday.

• Client only give me 2 hours to out audit for 2 company.

• Audit is kind of figure plug in job, all the information and listing is provide by client, why audit firm still need to charge few thousand Ringgit?

• Financial consultancies is part of auditor and tax job, Firm should giving guidance and a confirm answer to client, not matter is SST, custom duty, register of foreign worker, or every accounting double entry.

• Client expect auditor to check every single transaction in the management account to act as an account reviewer.

• Client always expect the tax agent can estimate the nearest tax estimation for the year with sales amount for certain months only.

• Client asked me to out account to his sister-in-law’s house because he said he kept the computer at his sister-in-law’s house.

• Client request report but revised management account with wrong costing calculation.

• During my peak, there is one client told us to do field audit for 2 hours only when there is a lot of document need to be vouched.

• Client call me to ask about my qualification and how long I work in a company for.

• Client always want us to confirm the tax treatment of the company which not audited or tax done by us.

• When we arrive client’ company, account personnel ask we sit down and listen talk around 1 hour.

• Client keep calling and said urgent things to discuss but end up talk about personal issue.

• Client insist to have virtual meeting whole day to watch them for vouching every single document required instead of email us directly the softcopies.

• No aircond and poor air ventilation when field work at client’s place, they ask us not to stay so long and finish audit quickly but they have many document we need to vouch.

• When vouching document one cockroach coming out from the file.

• Taking client’s file out from a dusty box, saw a 5cm dead spider inside the box.

• One of the client ask status after few days book in, he thought small business nothing inside we can finish within 1 day, but their accountant always didn’t make any audit adjustment. I have to adjust opening balance before proceed. This year also have a lot of audit adjustment, I guess they also didn’t make the adjustment to their account, pity next year PIC.

• Client ask specimen of charge form more than one time but still haven’t provide us charge form yet.

• Client request to increase RM1 share capital.

• Client reply the queries very slow but at the same time rushing us when can complete.

• Client request ctc for company statutory form but client refuse to pay printing fee, so client print out the documents by themselves and deliver to us for CTC. But some of the documents already ctc by previous secretary. End up we need to print a new pages to CTC with new secretary.

• Client give 1000+ pages of hard copy general ledger, refuse to give soft copy and expect to received final audited report in 1 week time due to bank request.

• Client spend 3 months to answer audit query, at the end blame us that could not meet our promise which complete the job within 2 months.

• When we ask for supporting document from client, they replied “You don’t believe your own client ah? How you do business? I think we have a trust issue now!”

• 顾客的opening balance 不对就早早book in 给我们了。然后说已经很早就book in了为什么 audit还没好？然后把我们当成是Accountant. 询问audit queries but 一个月后才回我们。

• Client does not provided the correct Management account and hope us can done it fast. Some of the accountants do not make adjustments for the subsequent year as per they promised would make adjustments in the next financial year.

• The book in client need us ask the same things every year. Eg some client know we need the term loan statement to proceed the term loan working paper but every year need us to ask for the statement.

Key Amendments to the Employment Act 1955

Presumption of employment

The Bill provides that in the absence of a written contract and unless proven otherwise, there will be presumption of an employment relationship if the following factors are given:

• his/her work or hours of work are subject to control by another person;

• he/she is equipped with tools, material or equipment by another person to execute his work;

• his/her work constitutes an integral part of another person's business;

• his/her work is performed solely for the benefit of another person; or

• payment is made to him/her for work done at regular intervals and it constitutes the majority of his/her income.

Calculation of wages for an incomplete month

The Bill provides a new section in the Act that introduces the below formula for calculating wages where an employee has not worked a full month:

Extension of maternity leave

Previously, the Act provided a 60 days maternity leave for all female employees, subject to the conditions of the Act. Now, when the Bill comes into force, eligible female employees will be entitled to 98 days of maternity leave.

Restriction on termination of pregnant employees

The Bill introduces a new section in the EA which prohibits an employer from terminating an employee who is pregnant or is suffering from an illness arising out of her pregnancy, except under specific circumstances such as willful breach of contract, misconduct or closure of the employer’s business. It is vital on employers to prove that the termination was not due to pregnancy.

Paternity Leave

Married male employees will now be entitled to 7 consecutive days of paternity leave up to 5 confinements.

Sexual harassment

The Bill introduces a new section which requires employers to conspicuously exhibit a notice to raise awareness of sexual harassment in the workplace. The sexual harassment provisions are still viewed as weak and limited. The Anti Sexual Harassment Bill 2021 would provide more guidelines upon being passed. It is currently in its first reading in Parliament.

Employment of foreign employees

Approval must be obtained from the Director-General of Labor to employ a foreign employee. Upon the employer satisfying the conditions listed in the Act, approvals are granted. Failure to obtain an approval is an offense, and on conviction, the employer shall be liable to a fine not exceeding RM 100,000 and/or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.

Reduction on working hours

Previously, the Act provided 48 hours as regular working hours. With the Bill coming into force, the regular working hours will be reduced to 45 hours a week.

Flexible working arrangements

Employees can apply for flexible working arrangement, depending on the suitability of the working hours or work place. However, there is no legal obligation on the employer to grant this request. If the employer is to reject the request, they are required to provide grounds of refusal within 60 days of the application.

Discrimination

The Director General has the authority to investigate and decide disputes on discrimination in employment between employer and employee. Furthermore, the Director General has the power to make an order where necessary. However, this provision is vague and it does not define discrimination. Job seekers will not be able to rely on this provision as there is no employment relationship between an employer and job seekers, and as such this provision will not apply to protect job seekers from discrimination.

EPF back to 11%

Background

With effective 1st January 2021 after the Budget 2021, employees have the option to reduce their EPF statutory contribution rate from 11% to 9%. This rate for employees will be in effect from January 2021 wages (February 2021 contribution) up to June 2022 (July 2022 Contribution) wages.

Why 9%

“The government understands the challenges faced by the people due to prolonged lockdowns and to increase cash in hand, EPF will extend the minimum contribution rate from 11% to 9% until June 2022.'' says Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.

Borang KWSP 17A for 11% contribution

The reduced rate is default for all employees under 60 years old.

Should an employee choose to remain at 11% contribution rate, they'll need to fill up Borang KWSP 17A (Khas 2022) which will then be submitted to EPF by their respective employer. For those aged 60 and above, the statutory contribution remains at the existing rate.

Upon receiving the completed Borang KWSP 17A (Khas 2022) form from the employees, employers will need to register the application via the i-Akaun (Employer) and keep the completed Borang KWSP 17A (Khas 2022) form as a record.

Back to EPF 11%

The minimum statutory EPF contribution rate for employees returns to 11% from July 2022 wages onwards (August 2022 contribution)
