Most Malaysians view technology as a source of opportunity rather than risk, but 71 per cent
are concerned that automation is jeopardising many jobs. This is one of the findings from
PwC’s Hopes and Fears Survey 2021 Malaysia report. The concern marks a significant increase
from last year’s survey (34 per cent) and is higher than the global average of 60 per cent.
The survey includes responses from 2003 Malaysians, who share their views on issues such
as technology, jobs and skills. The results also show 57 per cent have improved their digital
skills since the outbreak of the pandemic.

CPA AUSTRALIA DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNAL PANEL
SEEKING EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE PANEL
CPA Australia is one of the world’s largest
professional accounting bodies with a
global membership of more than 168,000
members (as at 31 December 2020)
working in finance, accounting and business,
in more than 100 countries and regions
around the world.
CPA Australia maintains a Disciplinary Panel
of members and community representatives
who can be called upon to form a Tribunal
to hear a complaint about a member.
As an independent Tribunal, it must make
its own assessment of the case put forward
on behalf of CPA Australia.
CPA Australia is a self-regulating professional
association whose members voluntarily agree
to be bound by CPA Australia’s Constitution,
By-Laws, Code of Professional Conduct
and Applicable Regulations. CPA Australia
recognises that the complaints process is
an important step in ensuring professional
standards are upheld by all members and
its approach to the disciplinary process
is guided by the principles of procedural
fairness, confidentiality, independence and
the right of appeal.
Candidates are sought from within
CPA Australia’s membership, and from
non-members with expertise in fields outside
the accounting profession. Candidates should
possess high standards of ethics and be
analytically minded. Expressions of interest
are particularly sought from people with a
legal or accounting/financial background
and are not limited to Australia. Overseas
applications, particularly Hong Kong and
Malaysia, are welcome.
Further information on the selection
criteria and how to apply can be found at
