What is AMCAF?
Persatuan Firma-Firma Akauntan Bertauliah Melayu Malaysia (AMCAF) is the national premier body representing Malay chartered accountants and professional accounting practices across Malaysia (Registration No: PPM-019-05-08122000).
Conceived in 1998 through strategic engagements between Malay accountants and former MIA President Dato’ Hanifah Noordin, AMCAF was formally established under the Societies Act 1966 on 8 December 2000.

Driven by its vision to be the leading force empowering Malay accountants towards global excellence, AMCAF advances practice capability, shapes national policy through institutional advocacy, drives research, and safeguards member welfare.
Our collective strength encompasses 152 member firms and individuals, representing 167 partners, over 6,000 professional staff, and 20 private audit firms (FAS) panelled under the National Audit Department (Jabatan Audit Negara).
