Financial Management for NPOs – Visit to CPA Australia

In our effort to enhance our international collaboration, on 7 December 2011, ARI researchers met up with CPA Australia Senior Policy Adviser, Dr Mark Shying at the CPA Australia office in Kuala Lumpur. The meeting was held to discuss the possibility of adapting or benchmarking Dr Shying’s framework on “Financial Planning and Management for Non Profit Organizations” for emerging economies in this region. Dr Shying developed the financial planning framework for CPA Australia and it was adopted successfully by the state of Victoria. Professor Dr Normah Omar and Associate Professor Dr Roshayani Arshad are currently undertaking a research project involving NPOs in Malaysia and the existence of Dr Shying’s framework would certainly be handy to be adapted by the group.
