ISCA opens first professional services centre in Johor Bahru

This is the first of 10 such centres that it will launch in major cities worldwide by June 2025.

The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has launched its first Professional Services Centre in Johor Bahru (JB), which is located within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).

ISCA’s Professional Services (PS) Centre in Johor Bahru is the first of 10 such centres that it will launch in major cities worldwide by June 2025 to support the growth of businesses in their respective countries.

These centres mark a new joint partnership between ISCA and the following organisations, which are part of ISCA’s Professional Accountancy Hub: Association of Small & Medium Enterprises, Institute of Valuers and Appraisers, Singapore, Law Society of Singapore, Singapore Manufacturing Foundation, and Tax Academy of Singapore.

ISCA’s PS Centre in Johor Bahru will serve as a conduit to promote the expansion and availability of professional services such as accounting, sustainability, legal, business valuation, taxation, and other corporate services to meet the needs of Singaporean businesses seeking to expand in Malaysia and vice versa.

In addition, it will help to foster cross-border partnerships and drive the development of accounting talent in both countries.

ISCA will also be forming partnerships with local universities based in Malaysia (Sunway TES College, University of Reading Malaysia, and the University of Southampton Malaysia) to create pathways for their students to pursue the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification (SCAQ), through the provision of resources, learning support, as well as scholarships.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
