HELP University and ISCA collaborate
As a partner of ISCA in Malaysia, HELP University will work to align its academic offerings with professional standards through this collaboration.
The agreement was signed by HELP University vice chancellor Dr Liew Teik Kooi and ISCA CEO Fann Kor with accounting and industry professionals present.
The partnership includes recognising ISCA qualifications within HELP University's Bachelor in Accounting programme and developing specialised training and a Level Zero Programme.
It also involves introducing the ISCA Accountify Subscription Package and exploring joint certifications and bursaries for high-performing accounting students.
Discussions are underway to establish HELP University as an ISCA recognised learning organisation and an overseas examination centre in Malaysia.
The agreement also covers prospects for professional internships, job placements, and research on ESG compliance and regulatory governance.
In March 2025, ISCA launched the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification Career Mobility Programme (CMP), designed to create cross-border work opportunities and foster cross-cultural learning and overseas work experience.
The CMP is set to start with a pilot in Vietnam and may expand to additional countries by the second quarter of 2025.
ISCA is the national accountancy body of Singapore, with more 39,000 members spread across more than 40 countries and are supported through 12 overseas chapters in ten countries.
"HELP University and ISCA collaborate" was originally created and published by The Accountant, a GlobalData owned brand.

Demand grows for packaging made from waste
Efforts to reduce environmental impact are driving steady growth in the upcycled packaging materials market, according to a new report published by Market Research Future. The study finds that demand for sustainable packaging solutions is increasing as brands respond to environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals and tightening global regulations. The report shows that upcycled materials—created from waste or by-products that would otherwise be discarded—are becoming more common across sectors such as food and beverage, cosmetics and e-commerce. These materials are seen as a way to reduce reliance on virgin resources and minimise landfill waste, aligning with global sustainability standards and consumer expectations. Regulations and corporate targets spur adoption The market's expansion is closely linked to growing regulatory pressure on packaging waste. Governments in the European Union, North America and parts of Asia are introducing stricter rules aimed at reducing single-use plastics and promoting circular economy practices. These include mandatory recycled content targets and extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes, which require companies to manage the lifecycle of their packaging. At the same time, many corporations are setting ambitious ESG targets. According to the report, brands are increasingly turning to upcycled packaging to meet their commitments to reduce carbon emissions and improve sustainability performance. This has led to a spike in demand for post-consumer materials and by-product repurposing technologies, especially in regions with established recycling infrastructure. Food and cosmetics sectors lead the shift The food and cosmetics industries are emerging as key adopters of upcycled packaging solutions. These sectors are under rising pressure from both regulators and environmentally conscious consumers to reduce their packaging footprint. Brands are experimenting with fibres derived from agricultural waste, such as wheat husks and sugarcane pulp, to replace traditional plastic or paper-based packaging. Retailers are also playing a role, with many introducing eco-friendly product lines and using packaging made from repurposed materials. This shift is supported by growing consumer awareness of environmental issues and an increase in demand for transparent, sustainable supply chains. Technological innovations support market growth Innovation in materials science and recycling technology is helping scale up the use of upcycled materials in packaging. Advances in processing techniques are improving the quality and durability of packaging made from waste products, making them more competitive with conventional materials. The report highlights developments such as chemical recycling and smart sorting systems as critical enablers for wider adoption. Market Research Future forecasts continued growth in the sector, with Asia-Pacific expected to see the fastest expansion due to rising industrial activity and government initiatives promoting sustainable practices. Meanwhile, established markets in Europe and North America are likely to maintain steady demand driven by policy incentives and ESG-driven procurement strategies. As regulatory frameworks evolve and sustainability pressures mount, the role of upcycled packaging in reducing environmental impact appears set to grow further across global supply chains.
