2. Risk Management & Internal Control

• Framework Implementation: Assist in developing and maintaining robust compliance and risk management frameworks.
• Assessment: Conduct regular risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and recommend corrective action plans.

3. Stakeholder Liaison & Training

• Regulatory Interface: Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and regulators, including the SC, Bursa Malaysia, and Bank Negara Malaysia.
• Culture Building: Conduct internal training and awareness programs to ensure the organization remains up‑to‑date on regulatory obligations.

4. Corporate Secretarial Support

• Board Support: Assist in the preparation of Board and Committee meetings, including scheduling, notices, agendas, and minutes.
• Statutory Duties: Liaise with external share registrars regarding income distribution and issuance of new units, and ensure compliance with the Companies Act 2016.
