Yayasan Peneraju has introduced a membership fee rebate to encourage its talents and alumni to register as Chartered Accountants with the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA).
Launched in conjunction with its 14th anniversary, the initiative offers eligible alumni a rebate of up to RM850 for the 2026 MIA membership year. The rebate will be deducted from their outstanding financing balance with Yayasan Peneraju.
Chief executive officer Ibrahim Sani said the move is aimed at helping Bumiputera accounting talents obtain the Chartered Accountant (Malaysia), or CA (Malaysia), designation, while easing financial burdens at a key stage in their careers. The initiative also promotes responsible repayment, enabling the foundation to recycle funds to support more beneficiaries.
To qualify, applicants must meet MIA’s requirements for the CA (Malaysia) designation and fulfil Yayasan Peneraju’s repayment conditions, either by repaying at least 30% of their financing or making a minimum payment of RM2,000. The rebate is limited to one application per person for 2026.
Since its establishment, Yayasan Peneraju has supported over 90,000 Bumiputera individuals across high-impact sectors. In 2025, it processed more than 19,000 applications, with around 2,000 in accounting — the highest intake for the field to date.
For 2026, the agency aims to train 2,000 additional professionally qualified accountants as part of its goal to produce 5,000 such professionals annually by 2030.
