the Board with the intenon of taking the Instute to the next

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of Preparaon
The financial statements of the Instute have been prepared in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporng Standards
(“MFRSs”), Internaonal Financial Reporng Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
The financial statements of the Instute have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the significant
accounng policies in Note 2.3.
The preparaon of financial statements in conformity with MFRSs requires the use of certain crical accounng esmates and
assumpons that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilies and disclosures of conngent assets and liabilies at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of the revenue and expenses during the reporng period. It also requires the
Governors to exercise their judgment in the process of applying the accounng policies of the Instute. Although these esmates and
judgment are based on the Governors’ best knowledge of current events and acons, actual results may differ.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumpons and esmates are significant to the
financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.
2.2 New MFRSs, Amendments/Improvements to MFRSs and New IC Interpretaons (”IC Int”)

of the Instute except for those as discussed below:-
Amendments to MFRS 132 Financial Instruments: Presentaon
Amendments to MFRS 132 does not change the current offseng model in MFRS 132. The amendments clarify the meaning of ‘currently
has a legally enforceable right of set-off’, that the right of set-off must be available today (not conngent on a future event) and legally
enforceable for all counterpares in the normal course of business. The amendments clarify that some gross selement mechanisms
with features that are effecvely equivalent to net selement will sasfy the MFRS 132 offseng criteria. This Amendments only
impacts the presentaon in the financial statements but has no impact on the financial results and posions of the Instute.
Amendments to MFRS 136 Impairment of Assets
Amendments to MFRS 136 clarifies that disclosure of the recoverable amount (based on fair value less costs of disposal) of an asset or
cash generang unit is required to be disclosed only when an impairment loss is recognised or reversed. In addion, there are new
disclosure requirements about fair value measurement when impairment or reversal of impairment is recognised.

Amendments to MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognion and Measurement
Amendments to MFRS 139 provides relief from disconnuing hedge accounng in a situaon where a derivave, which has been
designated as a hedging instrument, is novated to effect clearing with a central counterparty as a result of laws or regulaon, if specific
condions are met. As a result of the amendments, connuaon of hedge accounng is permied if as a consequence of laws or
regulaons, the pares to hedging instrument agree to have one or more clearing counterpares replace their original counterparty
and the changes to the terms arising from the novaon are consistent with the terms that would have existed if the novated derivave
were originally cleared with the central counterparty.

on the above significant new MFRSs and amendments/improvements to MFRSs are summarised below. Due to the complexity of
these new standards, the financial effects of their adopon are currently sll being assessed by the Instute.
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
MFRS 9 introduces a package of improvements which includes a classificaon and measurement model, a single forward-looking
expected loss’ impairment model and a substanally-reformed approach to hedge accounng.
Classificaon and measurement
MFRS 9 introduces an approach for classificaon of financial assets which is driven by cash flow characteriscs and the business model
in which an asset is held. The new model also results in a single impairment model being applied to all financial instruments.
In essence, if a financial asset is a simple debt instrument and the objecve of the enty’s business model within which it is held is to
collect its contractual cash flows, the financial asset is measured at amorsed cost. In contrast, if that asset is held in a business model
the objecve of which is achieved by both collecng contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, then the financial asset is
measured at fair value in the statement of financial posion, and amorsed cost informaon is provided through profit or loss. If the
business model is neither of these, then fair value informaon is increasingly important, so it is provided both in the profit or loss and
in the statement of financial posion.
36
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Impairment
MFRS 9 introduces a new, expected-loss impairment model that will require more mely recognion of expected credit losses.
Specifically, this Standard requires enes to account for expected credit losses from when financial instruments are first recognised
and to recognise full lifeme expected losses on a more mely basis. The model requires an enty to recognise expected credit losses
at all mes and to update the amount of expected credit losses recognised at each reporng date to reflect changes in the credit risk
of financial instruments. This model eliminates the threshold for the recognion of expected credit losses, so that it is no longer
necessary for a trigger event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.
Hedge accounng
MFRS 9 introduces a substanally-reformed model for hedge accounng, with enhanced disclosures about risk management acvity.
The new model represents a significant overhaul of hedge accounng that aligns the accounng treatment with risk management
acvies, enabling enes to beer reflect these acvies in their financial statements. In addion, as a result of these changes, users
of the financial statements will be provided with beer informaon about risk management and the effect of hedge accounng on the
financial statements.
Amendments to MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
Amendments to MFRS 13 relates to the IASB’s Basis for Conclusions which is not an integral part of the Standard. The Basis for
Conclusions clarifies that when IASB issued IFRS 13, it did not remove the praccal ability to measure short-term receivables and
payables with no stated interest rate at invoice amounts without discounng, if the effect of discounng is immaterial.
The Amendments also clarifies that the scope of the porolio excepon of MFRS 13 includes all contracts accounted for within the
scope of MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognion and Measurement or MFRS 9 Financial Instruments, regardless of whether they
meet the definion of financial assets or financial liabilies as defined in MFRS 132 Financial Instruments: Presentaon.
Amendments to MFRS 101 Presentaon of Financial Statements
Amendments to MFRS 101 improves the effecveness of disclosures. The Amendments clarifies guidance on materiality and
aggregaon, the presentaon of subtotals, the structure of financial statements and the disclosure of accounng policies.
Amendments to MFRS 116 Property, Plant and Equipment
Amendments to MFRS 116 clarifies the accounng for the accumulated depreciaon/amorsaon when an asset is revalued.
It clarifies that:
• the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluaon of the carrying amount of the asset; and
• the accumulated depreciaon/amorsaon is calculated as the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying
amount of the asset aer taking into account accumulated impairment losses.
Amendments to MFRS 116 prohibits revenue-based depreciaon because revenue does not reflect the way in which an item of
property, plant and equipment is used or consumed.
Amendments to MFRS 119 Employee Benefits
Amendments to MFRS 119 provides a praccal expedient in accounng for contribuons from employees or third pares to defined
benefit plans.
If the amount of the contribuons is independent of the number of years of service, an enty is permied to recognise such
contribuons as a reducon in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered, instead of aribung the
contribuons to the periods of service.
However, if the amount of the contribuons is dependent on the number of years of service, an enty is required to aribute those
contribuons to periods of service using the same aribuon method required by MFRS 119 for the gross benefit (i.e. either based on
the plan’s contribuon formula or on a straight-line basis).
In addion, the Amendments clarifies that the high quality corporate bonds used to esmate the discount rate for post-employment
benefit obligaons should be denominated in the same currency as the liability and the depth of the market for high quality corporate
bonds should be assessed at a currency level.
Amendments to MFRS 124 Related Party Disclosures
Amendments to MFRS 124 clarifies that an enty providing key management personnel services to the reporng enty or to the
parent of the reporng enty is a related party of the reporng enty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2.3 Significant Accounng Policies
The following accounng policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relaon to the
financial statements.
(a) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciaon
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciaon and impairment losses, if any. The policy for the
recognion and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2.3 (j).
Depreciaon is calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned.
The annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:Leasehold premises
2%
Air condioners
20%
Computers and soware
20% - 33 1/3%
Furniture and fings
20%
Office equipment
20%
Office renovaon
20%
The residual values, useful lives and depreciaon method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that the amount,
method and period of depreciaon are consistent with previous esmates and the expected paern of consumpon of the
future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from
its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the net carrying amount is recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income.
(b) Inventories
Inventories comprise mainly the publicaons and books from the Instute. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Costs, which comprise the cost of purchase plus incidentals in bringing the inventories to their present locaon
and condion, are determined on the first-in, first-out basis.
Net realisable value is the esmate of the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less selling expenses.
(c) Receivables
Receivables are carried at ancipated realisable values. Bad debts are wrien off when idenfied. An esmate is made for doubul
debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the reporng date.
(d) Payables
Payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideraon to be paid in the future, whether or not billed to the Instute.
(e) Income Tax
The tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income represents the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax
included in the determinaon of net profit or loss for the year.
Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the reporng date arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilies and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilies are
recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deducble temporary differences,
unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deducble temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be ulised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is seled,
based on tax rates that have been enacted or substanvely enacted at the reporng date. Deferred tax is recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income, except when it arises from a transacon which is recognised directly in equity, in which case
the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in equity.
38
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(f) Revenue Recognion
(i) Revenue from operaons
Revenue from seminars, conferences, workshops, Quality Assurance Review (“QAR”) and Cerfied Internal Auditor (“CIA”)
examinaon income are recognised on an accrual basis. Entrance fees and membership subscripons are recognised as revenue
on a cash basis for the fees received in respect of the year. However, where the subscripons are received in advance for the
following year’s subscripon, they would be recorded as a current liability as the advance subscripons are not earned yet.
(ii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis.
(g) Financial Assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial posion when, and only when, the Instute becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised inially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value
through profit or loss, directly aributable transacon costs.
The Instute determines the classificaon of its financial assets at inial recognion, and the categories include financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets.
(i) Loans and Receivables
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an acve market are classified as loans and receivables.
Subsequent to inial recognion, loans and receivables are measured at amorsed cost using the effecve interest method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through
the amorsaon process.
Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months aer the
reporng date which are classified as non-current.
A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognion
of a financial asset in its enrety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideraon received and
any cumulave gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
(h) Financial Liabilies
Financial liabilies are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definions of
a financial liability.
Financial liabilies, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statement of financial posion when, and only when, the
Instute becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilies are classified as either
financial liabilies at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilies.
(i) Other Financial Liabilies
The other financial liabilies of the Instute include trade payables and other payables.
Trade and other payables are recognised inially at fair value plus directly aributable transacon costs and subsequently
measured at amorsed cost using the effecve interest method.
For other financial liabilies, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilies are derecognised, and through
the amorsaon process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligaon under the liability is exnguished. When an exisng financial liability
is replaced by another from the same lender on substanally different terms, or the terms of an exisng liability are substanally
modified, such an exchange or modificaon is treated as a derecognion of the original liability and the recognion of a new
liability, and the difference in the respecve carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
39
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(i) Foreign Currency Transacons
Transacons in foreign currencies are recorded in Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange ruling at the me of the transacons.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilies are translated at exchange rates ruling at reporng date.
Gains and losses from conversion of assets and liabilies, whether realised or unrealised are included in the statement of
comprehensive income as they arise.
All other foreign exchange differences are taken to the statement of comprehensive income in the financial year in which they arise.
The principal closing rate used is as follows:-
1 US Dollar
2014
RM
2013
RM
3.20
3.28
(j) Impairment of Assets
At each reporng date, the carrying values of assets, other than financial assets and deferred tax assets, are reviewed for impairment
to determine whether there is an indicaon that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying
values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net selling price and its value in
use of the asset, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows. Recoverable amounts are esmated for
individual assets.
An impairment loss is charged to the statement of comprehensive income immediately.
Subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised
to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of depreciaon) had no impairment loss
been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income immediately.
(k) Employee Benefits
(i) Short term benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contribuons are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which the associated
services are rendered by employees of the Instute. Short term accumulang compensated absences such as paid annual leave
are recognised when services rendered by employees that increase their entlement to future compensated absences, and short
term non-accumulang compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii)Defined contribuon plan
The Instute contributes to the Employees’ Provident Fund, the naonal defined contribuon plan. The contribuons are charged
to the profit or loss in the period to which they are related. Once the contribuons have been paid, the Instute has no further
payment obligaons.
(l) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, demand deposits and other short
term, highly liquid investments that are readily converble to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents are stated net of fixed deposits pledged with banks for banking facilies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparaon of the financial statements requires management of the Instute to make judgements, esmates and assumpons
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilies, and the disclosure of conngent liabilies at the
reporng date. However, uncertainty about these assumpons and esmates could result in outcomes that could require material
adjustments to the carrying amount of the assets or liabilies affected in the future.
3.1 Judgements made in applying accounng policies
There were no crical judgements made by the Governors in the process of applying the accounng policies of the Instute that have
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
3.2 Key sources of esmaon uncertainty
The key assumpons concerning the future and other key sources of esmaon uncertainty at the reporng date that have a risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilies within the next financial year are discussed below.
a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Instute esmates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on the period over which the assets are expected
to be available for use. The esmated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated
if expectaons differ from previous esmates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or
other limits on the use of the relevant assets. In addion, the esmaon of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are
based on internal evaluaon and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operaons could be
materially affected by changes in the esmates brought about by changes in factors menoned above.
The amount and ming of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances.
A reducon in the esmated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded expenses and decrease
the non-current assets.
(b) Impairment of receivables
The Instute provides for impairment of receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of receivables. Impairment loss
is recognised where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Management
specifically analysed historical bad debts, current economic trends and changes in payment terms when making a judgement to
evaluate the adequacy of the impairment loss on receivables. Where the expectaon is different from the original esmate, such
difference will impact the carrying value of receivables.

(b) Financial Risk Management
The Instute seeks to manage effecvely the various risks namely credit, interest rate, liquidity and foreign exchange risks, to
which the Instute is exposed to in its daily operaons.
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counter party default on its
obligaons. The exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. Trade and other receivables
presented in the statement of financial posion are net of allowances for impairment losses, esmated by management
based on prior experience and the current economic environment.
The exposure to credit risk is monitored by the management on an ongoing basis and the management does not expect
any counterparty to fail to meet its obligaons. The carrying amounts of the financial assets recorded on the statement
of financial posion at the end of the reporng period represent the maximum exposure of the Instute to credit risk in
relaon to financial assets. No financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk other than those disclosed in the
notes to the financial statements.
There are no concentraons of credit risk for the financial assets.
(ii) Liquidity risk
The Instute acvely manages its debt maturity profile, operang cash flows and the availability of funding so as to
ensure that all funding needs are met. As part of this overall prudent liquidity management, the Instute maintains sufficient
levels of cash and cash equivalents to meet its working capital requirements.
(iii) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Instute has transaconal currency exposures arising from fees payable to The Instute of Internal Auditors Inc. that
are denominated in a currency other than the funconal currency of the Instute.
The risk is migated by a US dollar denominated account held by the Instute at one of the commercial banks.
Exposure to foreign currency
The following table details the exposure of the Instute at the reporng date to currency risk arising from recognised
financial assets and liabilies denominated in a currency other than the funconal currency of the Instute. For presentaon
purposes, the amounts of the exposure are shown in Ringgit Malaysia, translated using the spot rate at reporng date:

Sensivity Analysis
The following table indicates the approximate change in the net profit and equity of the Instute in response to reasonable
possible changes in the foreign exchange rates to which the Instute has significant exposure at the reporng date,
assuming all other variable risk variables remained constant. Other components of the equity would not be affected by
changes in the foreign exchange rate:Increase/(Decrease)
RM Weakens (10%)
RM Strengthens (10%)

The sensivity analysis assumes that the change in foreign exchange rates had been applied to re-measure those financial
instruments held by the Instute which expose the Instute to foreign currency risk at the reporng date.
(c) Fair Values
(i) Recognised financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilies of the Instute reasonably approximate their fair values due
to the relavely short term nature of these financial instruments.
(ii) Unrecognised financial instruments
There were no unrecognised financial instruments as at 31 December 2014.

changes in equity and statement of cash flows of the Instute for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant

necessary to enable the preparaon of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with approved standards on auding in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to the Instute’s
preparaon of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effecveness of the Instute’s internal controls. An audit also
includes evaluang the appropriateness of accounng policies used and the reasonableness of accounng esmates made by the
Governors, as well as evaluang the overall presentaon of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial posion of the Instute as at 31 December 2014 and
of its financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporng
Standards, Internaonal Financial Reporng Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia, we also report that in our opinion, the accounng and
other records and the registers required by the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia to be kept by the Instute have been properly kept
in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
Other Maers
