Kartini Adris (35698):-

As one of the partners of Kartini & Associates (‘the Business’) had been punished and imposed a fine of RM4000-00 and costs of RM4000-00 by the Disciplinary Committee of the Institute on 2/12/2022 for she had on or about 19/3/2020 advertised in the Business’ Facebook page the provision of accounting, auditing services and had used the wording of chartered accountant, auditor and advisory, whilst in her Business’ signage, had used MIA’s logo and written as Chartered Accountant, Auditor and further had advertised the provision of accounting, auditing, and taxation services which is likely to lead the public at large to infer that she and her Business are qualified to provide public practice services when she is not allowed to do so, as she does not possess the pre-requisite audit and tax license nor a valid Practicing Certificate issued by the relevant authority, and neither the Business is an audit firm nor a non-audit firm registered with
MIA.
