TYMBA Inks MoU with Employment Platform GRADUAN

TYMBA, an ACCA-certified accounting training centre in Malaysia, has signed a MoU with online employment platform GRADUAN to produce agile talents who can adapt to the ever-evolving roles in the accounting and finance landscape.

The collaboration will match TYMBA students with employers and job placements that align with their skills and specialisations.

Additionally, TYMBA alumni will be prioritised for applications and employment opportunities on the GRADUAN platform. The partnership will also provide professional exposure in the areas of capacity building and talent development for the students.

GRADUAN’s community members will also gain access to TYMBA’s seminars, workshops, skill programmes, internships, and on-the-job training opportunities, as well as its network of industry professionals who will serve as mentors and advisors to GRADUAN members.

Airil Razali, CEO of TYMBA Education Group, noted that accounting is becoming an increasingly sophisticated profession, and accountants are expected to incorporate ESG considerations and non-financial, sustainability data in their advice to decision-makers and stakeholders.

According to Airil Razali, accounting is becoming an increasingly sophisticated profession. The modern era of accounting goes beyond the financial eyes and ears of organisations — accountants now are expected to incorporate ESG considerations and non-financial, sustainability data in their advice to decision-makers and stakeholders.

“In view of sustainability now being a business focus for organisations on a global level, TYMBA is constantly innovating our initiatives to drive the UN Sustainable Development Goals as well, particularly sustainable education. We have also included sustainability accounting as part of our curriculum. This is so our students can get a headstart on learning how to help organisations adapt to ever-evolving reporting requirements — a recent example being Bursa Malaysia’s recent inclusion of climate change reporting in business strategies for main market-listed issuers,” Airil remarked.

The partnership will help upskill local accounting and finance talents to positively impact business sustainability at scale, with the profession expected to take on a key support role in the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda.

GRADUAN’s CEO, Nabil Marie, said the partnership would grow the pool of accounting professionals, with the Malaysian Institute of Accountants aiming to produce 60,000 accountants by 2030.
