Seminar: The do’s and don’ts by the Registrar of Societies and how to keep your records for non-profit organizations most practical

Tuesday, 12th of July 2011- Eurogain TRE Ventures Sdn. Bhd. organised a seminar for non-profit organizations at Hotel Midah, Kuala Lumpur. The seminar started off with a welcome note from Mr. Dennis de Witt, Head of the Secretarial Department and Vice President of Eurogain. He welcomed the visitors and introduced the first speakers, Puan Norhayatee and Ms. Tan Poh Ling.

Puan Hayatee was the former director of the Register of Societies in the Federal Territory. Her past experiences include the areas of governmental procurement, administration and human resource development. She was also previously in the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism, and received an award of excellence in 2008.

Puan Hayatee gave a very animated and informative talk on the do's and don'ts of an association that is governed by the Registrar of Societies. She provided a lot of practical and useful information for the attendees to use in their non-profit organizations.

There was a very informal atmosphere during the talk and the attendees were able to ask many questions and obtain precise and practical answers to all their questions.

The second talk was conducted by Ms. Tan Poh Ling, the Founder and Managing Partner of TPL & Associates, a Chartered Accounting firm in Kuala Lumpur.

Ms. Tan possesses about 22 years of experience in fields of audit, financial management and tax compliance for corporations and individuals. She was previously attached with one of the big-five accounting firms in the audit division where she obtained her Chartered Accountants' qualification.

Ms. Tan Poh Ling's presentation was about how to keep accurate and practical records, especially for non-profit organizations. The presentation gave the attendees a clear idea on how to provide for accurate financial record-keeping, income tax implications, as well as other matters related to accounts. During the presentation there were many examples given by the presenter so that everybody would have a clear idea on the proper accounting entries.

The event ended with a question and answer session and a note of thanks to the two speakers.

The attendees were very enthusiastic about the seminar and even requested a second part to be conducted so that more people could learn more about the legal requirements of a non-profit organisation that is governed by the Registrar of Societies, especially since there is little information available to the public on this interesting topic.

From this positive feedback, Eurogain has decided to conduct a follow-up event with a similar topic in the near future. Please keep track of our Facebook page for further details to come soon.

Participation in the BBX fair, 25 July 2011

On Saturday the 25^th of July 2011, BBX organised their first members fair at the PJ Trade Centre in Damansara Perdana. This fair gave the opportunity for businesses to sell and promote their products and services. With over 30 booths, members were able to sell and buy their product using BBX points.

More than 50 people visited the fair. The biggest part of the visitors was business people who came with their families. For the children special activities were organised and a clown was there to entertain them. Eurogain took up a booth at the fair and took active part in promoting our services. 

The fair started off with three different talks. The first talk was given by LK Tan from Perigagah Sdn. Bhd. His topic was about Refinancing. The second talk was given by our CEO, Mr. Kevin Kiew, who spoke about outsourcing. The last speaker was by Tan Poh Ling, Eurogain TRE ventures, about Tax. After the talks, active trading good began.  

The organisers planed for each member who attended this fair to visit every stand of each company to collect the business stamp of the company. Those stamps were collected in a "passport" and those who completed their passport were awarded BBX points that could be spent at the fair.

The fair was concluded with an auction and the revenue raised from this auction will be donated for charity.

Our participation in the event was a great success. To share an impression about this day Eurogain created two small movies.
