End of year message from the MIA President

Dear Fellow Member,
2015 was another year full of activities at the Institute and even for the accountancy profession. A growing economy means more work and deadlines to meet and we all know how challenging it is to keep up with all this.
Speaking about coping with work, we’ve just launched “CPE Online – Your time!”. Did you know that you can now comply with your CPE hours at your leisure? This new MIA initiative offers a host of interesting modules online which one can take up – virtually from anywhere – on a 24/7 basis, MIA’s attempt at making your lives a little easier. I have personally used the service to make up any hours.
This October we welcomed 211 new graduates and members into our organisation; it is very encouraging to note that MIA is growing. Interestingly, since 1995, the Institute has seen a dramatic increase of 500% in its number of students and our membership figures have shot up by 400%. The numbers are encouraging but there is a lot of work ahead; it is sad to note that some fellow accountants are still missing the advantages of forming part of the Institute and we must reach to them and bring them all on board. We even have members that are not taking full advantage of the many benefits offered by the privilege card, for instance (read more). There you go; we still have to catch up in order to bring all our existing members abreast with our communications, here.
With over 2,500 members and counting, MIA is one of the fastest growing professional bodies in Malta and it fills me with enormous satisfaction to preside over such a hard-working and dedicated team.
On behalf of our Council, Officers and CEO at MIA, I take this opportunity to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Franco Azzopardi
President
