(D) Compliance with Legislation
The Burma Auditor’s Certificates Rules 1939 was first promulgated primarily to produce
qualified accountants to meet the requirements of the provisions of Section 144 (2) of theBurma Companies Act. The qualified accountants thus produced were regulated by the said1939 Rules as amended by the 1956 Rules all along under the Burma Companies Act. The 1956 Rules mainly restricted enrolment on the Register of Accountants limited to citizens of the Union of Myanmar, other than those already on the register. The provisions of the Burma Companies Act regulated the conduct of the professional auditing, especially in regard to corporate auditing.
However the MAC Law 1972 and the repealed MAC Law 1994 encompassed wider
perspective for the whole profession for the whole country not confined only to corporate
auditing. The MAC is empowered to conduct the Certified Public Accountants (CPA) and Diploma in Accountancy (DA) training courses and to regulate the accounting profession by maintaining the Register of Certified Public Accountants and the Register of Practicing CPAs and, to take disciplinary action against the CPAs who fail to observe the code of professional ethics contained in the Law.
