This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/52016252/en Osaka Gas Co. Ltd., through its affiliate Osaka Gas Singapore Pte. Ltd. (Osaka Gas) and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) have invested in a minority stake in AG&P. This capital will be used to execute AG&P’s multiple LNG initiatives worldwide, including the development and roll-out of:
Dr. Leviste continued: “AG&P and Gas Entec, working together, bring innovative, in-house engineering, project management, manufacturing, licensed LNG tank and handling system outfitting, construction, project development, customer marketing and operations management for LNG-related projects and for our modularization, site-work and other customers. We look forward to changing how the LNG industry works.” Osaka Gas, the 114-year old, vertically integrated energy utility in Japan with revenues of $12 billion, is one of the world’s foremost gas utilities, supplying natural gas to ~5.5 million households and operating over 60,000km of pipeline, in addition to a wide-range of gas, power and renewable assets around the world, including in the US, Europe and Southeast Asia. Its investment in AG&P marks the next step in a long-term relationship where both parties have worked together to develop LNG infrastructure projects in South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Americas, among others. “Osaka Gas has known AG&P since 2014. Since that time, we have come to admire AG&P’s unique ability to disrupt the natural gas value chain in areas such as city gas distribution, LNG import terminals, LNG bunkering, LNG engineering and advanced manufacturing. We strongly believe that this investment in AG&P will provide Osaka Gas with a valuable asset to create and develop new markets for Osaka Gas. AG&P’s single-minded focus in developing solutions with the end-customer in mind has been inspirational to our team,” said Mr. Katz Sato, Head of South and East Asia Business Development for Osaka Gas. “In addition to providing growth capital, Osaka Gas will also work with AG&P in other areas, including technical support, such as providing technical collaboration for AG&P’s major city gas initiatives in India where AG&P is commencing its build-out of 12 concessions that cover many millions of people across a wide swathe of South India and Rajasthan. Given over 110 years of Osaka Gas’s heritage, we are extremely eager to see this clean energy made available quickly and safely to the citizens of India who live in these geographic areas,” said Mr. Katz Sato. JBIC is an institution wholly owned by the Japanese government, with over JPY 16 trillion of debt, equity and guarantees extended in its global portfolio (as of March 31, 2019), intended to support Japanese industry and Japan’s strategic priorities. Its investment in AG&P was made, in line with its policy objectives, to support Osaka Gas’s ongoing collaboration with AG&P in expanding its overseas business. “We have been impressed with AG&P’s talented management, especially in constructing an experienced team and bringing together capable players in their respective fields such as project management and construction, to carry out city gas distribution projects in India as well as LNG import terminal projects.

Ltd. KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 (Bernama) -- 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of the relationship between MICPA and Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ). Back in 2009, CA ANZ was known as the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia (ICAA). A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between ICAA and MICPA on February 24, 2009 to collaborate in providing a joint qualifying programme, i.e. the joint MICPA-ICAA Programme.
Through the joint Programme, MICPA conducted ICAA’s Chartered Accountant Program comprising 5 modules in Malaysia, but customised the Taxation module to cover the Malaysian taxation framework, thus making the Programme relevant to the local market. Hence 4 modules would be identical to that offered in Australia and the rest of the world, whilst the Taxation module would be set and marked by MICPA. Graduates of the joint Programme are eligible for admission into memberships of both Institutes upon completion of the 5 modules and 3 years of supervised working experience, and will also be able to access the Global Accounting Alliance (GAA) – something very useful for global professionals. Memberships with both bodies provide the use of the titles “Certified Public Accountant”, or CPA (M), and “Chartered Accountant”, or CA (ANZ). The Programme was officially launched in June 2009 with the first batch of students attempting their first modules in December 2009. In 2014, developments in ICAA saw its amalgamation with the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) and the formation of a new body – CA ANZ, thus the name change of the Programme to the MICPA-CAANZ Programme. Candidates eligible for the Programme are accounting degree holders from universities accredited by MICPA or CA ANZ, with most of them coming from universities in Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. MICPA has opened up entry for accredited Diploma in Accounting holders who will be required to undergo MICPA’s Professional Stage Examination (PSE) (4 modules) before proceeding on to the MICPA-CAANZ Programme (5 modules). In 2015, MICPA introduced a 1-year Conversion Programme (8 modules) to allow non-accounting degree holders to pursue the MICPA-CAANZ Programme. The Conversion Programme is being conducted by Universiti Malaya with classes held on weekends. In late 2019, some changes to the requirements of the MICPA-CAANZ Programme were made: · Candidates can complete up to 2 technical modules per term (previously only 1 module per term was allowed) · Candidates can complete the technical modules on a full-time basis, prior to commencing employment with an Approved Training Organisation (previously the Programme had to be completed concurrently whilst gaining work experience) Outstanding candidates and graduates are recognised every year at the Excellence Awards event which is jointly hosted by MICPA and CA ANZ. Since the joint Programme commenced in 2009, Malaysian candidates achieved an average pass rate of 72% to-date. Each year has seen a steady increase in the reception towards the MICPA-CAANZ Programme and it continues to see growth – a globally-recognised qualification with a Malaysian flavour. NOTE TO EDITOR: About The Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) The Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) was incorporated in 1958 and is the only Malaysian body which conducts a professional accountancy examination recognised under the Accountants Act 1967. MICPA has collaborated with Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (then known as Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia) since 2009 to offer the MICPA-CAANZ Programme – a joint professional programme which awards its graduates with a dual membership and the use of two titles – Certified Public Accountant, Malaysia and Chartered Accountant, Australia & New Zealand. MICPA is governed by a Council of 30 elected members and has over 3,200 members and close to 900 registered candidates.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 19 (Bernama) -- There was elation in the air as the discipline, dedication and tenacity shown by 152 Malaysian students in preparing for their ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) examinations were rewarded when they were named prizewinners at the ACCA Malaysia Top Achievers Ceremony. This celebratory event recognised outstanding students for the achievements in the 2017, 2018 and March 2019 examinations. Students from diverse background and education system who are pursuing this internationally recognised professional qualification have not only excelled and obtained the highest scores in Malaysia but also across the world. Top international scorers from Malaysia were bestowed the award as “Global Prizewinners” at this event as they surpassed the achievements of fellow ACCA students from 179 countries. Of the winners, 117 are from ACCA learning providers. Among the group of Global Prizewinners, one student in particular shone brightest when he scored a perfect 100% for the ACCA Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) Management Accounting (MA 1) paper. Abdurrahman Apandi, aged 19, a Yayasan Peneraju-Perbadanan Nasional Berhad scholar who is currently pursuing the ACCA Qualification at INTEC Education College (INTEC), has once again put Malaysia on the map as a country with high calibre and outstanding accounting talents the world needs. His fellow INTEC coursemate, 23 year old Nur Amira binti Arifin also did the country proud by becoming the No.1 scorer in Malaysia and fourth in the world for the Strategic Business Leader (SBL) paper. SBL is one of two new papers ACCA introduced last year as part of its efforts to future proof it’s accreditation and groom top global leaders by incorporating strategic business thinking module into its qualifications. “ACCA has been a great support to my professional development. I appreciate the different opportunities to learn and network with professionals that help keep me intact with the industry” said Tiffany Tan, a former student from Sunway TES who is currently completing her postgraduate degree in Australia. She was named the No.1 Top Affiliate in Malaysia and second in the world for the December 2017 examinations. Tan Lin Fang, 21, who was also a student from Sunway TES received recognition as bronze Top Affiliate in the recent March 2019 examinations. ACCA Malaysia Country Head, Edward Ling said, “Obtaining the ACCA qualification is by no means an easy feat. It takes a certain amount of verve, commitment, and determination for one to become an ACCA graduate. Not only have these students accomplished this, they have done so with distinction on a global scale. Adding on to that, I am very proud to share that today, ACCA has more than 36,000 outstanding students pursuing our professional qualification in Malaysia.” mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=35042 |
