 Auditing is a key part of running a business in Malaysia and one that every potential business owner should be familiar with. Accounting is crucial in running a company, both for the shareholders and tax authorities. Therefore, the value of a proper audit is invaluable; hence, the need for a capable auditor. You don\u2019t need to be an auditor to know about auditing, especially when you simply want to provide oversight to the Auditor. To that end, let’s take a look at audit fee guideline Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Determines Your Audit Fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) set forth guidelines for calculating auditing fees in 1994 in the Recommended Practice Guides 7 (RPG7). The guide established acceptable levels of remuneration in keeping with the provision of professional assurance services and creating a general standard. After several revisions, the RPG7 was eventually withdrawn in 2015. The Auditing fee is usually determined in one of two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time-Based<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Time is essential in auditing in terms of hours of quality work put in by members of the company and the efficiency of the Auditor. Recording time serves as valuable evidence of the work done in the company. The time charge, in this case, varies, usually dependent on the work of the Auditor and the staff. The auditing practice, therefore, determines the charge-out. With the basis for the charge out rate not being uniform, the audit fee is dependent on the audit practice. The common theme for this practice is to have an audit fee that is three times the direct cost of labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Value-Based<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here, the audit fee is determined by the skill, risk, amount of responsibility, and time the work requires. Here there is a direct relationship between the auditing fees charged and the total asset value of a company or gross turnover or operating expenditure. Thanks to this consistency in fee levels, total assets, or gross turnover are the MIA’s recommended method of determining auditing fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Are Audit Fees Calculated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite the RPG 7 being withdrawn, auditing fees are still judged in compliance with this act. As opposed to waiting for an auditor to determine your auditing fees, you can estimate your auditing fee and be prepared to pay before the audit. In accordance with RPG 7, the minimum auditing fee in Malaysia is RM800. To help you calculate your auditing fee, here is the audit fee guideline for Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based On Gross Turnover or Total Assets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The auditing rates and fees are cumulative for each fraction you earn throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
