Hi, here is one question want to ask.
MASB has issued Malaysia own standards which come out with series of MASB Standards. But now there is change to adoption of FRS.
Has the role of MASB diminished in such a convergence? What has MASB done in such convergence and what is the expected role of MASB in future?
Hope tou can answer my question. Thanks a lot!
