    Malaysia began aligning its accounting standards (MASB) with global IFRS standards in 2005 by renaming them to FRS. All companies were required to adopt FRS in their financial statements from 2006 onward. From 2006 to 2011, MASB standardized FRS to be similar to IFRS, including renumbering FRS to match IFRS. In 2011, MASB established MFRS, a new framework fully compliant with IFRS, with all non-private entities required to use MFRS from 2012 onward. Entities using FRS must switch to MFRS by 2018. Malaysia's convergence path was less challenging than other countries as most IFRS provisions were

    so i muhammad afif bin ahmad zaidi will talk about the history and background of

    MFRS, starting from 1st january 2005 in order to show the malaysia commitment in
    alligning with the global accounting standards,the MASB accounting standards were
    renamed financial reporting standard (FRS)

    in malaysia, companies are only required to implement and adopt all FRS in their
    financial statements starting from 1st January 2006, this was the first step taken
    by the MASB to demonstrate its commitment to IFRS convergence

    since 2006, MASB has standardized FRS Standards to make them similar to IFRS and
    FRS also was renumbered to match the IFRS numbering exactly (for example, FRS 1
    referred to IFRS 1, and FRS 101 referred to IAS1)
    and MASB indicated that it would achieve full convergence with IFRS by 1st January
    2012

    in november 2011, in accordance with full convergence, the MASB establish a new
    accounting framework which is MFRS that is fully compliant with the IFRS framework

    *next slide*
    As a result, Malaysia had successfully implemented three sets of MASB-approved
    accounting frameworks which is MFRS framework,PERS and FRS framework and all the
    entities other than private entities must use the MFRS Framework as of 1st January
    2012

    entities that have altenately chosen to apply FRS must comply with MFRS for annual
    periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018, this is according to the MASB
    Notice titled Amendment to the effective date and applicability of the MFRS which
    was issued on 28th October 2015. the MFRS framework can be used as soon as
    possible.

    The FRS shall be withdrawn for application for financial statements with annual
    periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018

    comparison to other nation, the convergence path for Malaysia was comparatively
    less challenging compared to the paths of other countries attempting convergence or
    adoption for the first time because that most of the provisions of IFRS had already
    been incorporated into Malaysian Accounting Standards since 1978 as a result
    switching to MFRS framework had only a minor budgetary impact
