Jonathan Dingli was reconfirmed as President of the Malta Institute of Accountants (MIA) following an annual general meeting to elect the institute’s new council.

Referring to the Institute’s activities on areas related to regulation, digitalisation, AI, sustainability requirements and ongoing talent challenges, Dr Dingli said that the Institute’s role is not simply to respond to change, but to understand its direction, prepare members for what lies ahead and ensure that Malta’s voice is heard in the discussions shaping the future of accountancy.
