30 Years of Expensive Books. Now I Want Claude to Read Them.

Being an auditor and licensed tax agent comes with one expensive habit.

Buying books.

Audit books.
Tax books.
Accounting standards.
Company law.
Transfer pricing.
Business valuation.
Corporate advisory.

Over the years, I have accumulated quite a collection.

I keep them in our office library.

Open to all my colleagues.
Anyone can borrow.
Anyone can read.
Anyone can learn.

At least that was my original intention.

Then I read the news about Anthropic, the company behind Claude.

Apparently, Anthropic bought millions of physical books, removed their bindings, scanned the pages and converted them into digital files.

All this to help build its AI models.

Suddenly, I looked at my office library differently.

What if I scan my technical books and turn them into a private AI knowledge library?

Better still, organise the knowledge into Claude Skills for our Audit, Tax and Advisory teams.

Imagine.

My audit junior encounters a complicated accounting treatment.

Instead of searching through five thick books, he asks Claude.

My tax senior encounters an unusual tax issue.

Claude searches our authorised reference materials and points to the relevant discussion.

My advisory team needs a valuation methodology.

Claude helps locate the relevant technical guidance.

I have already paid for these books.
Now I am wondering whether I can make this investment more useful to my people.

But there is one big question.
The copyright to digitise and share it through AI in our firm.

Using RAG would usually be more suitable than embedding the entire book into AI skill. Still, the idea is tempting.

For more than 30 years, I have been collecting professional knowledge on bookshelves.

Maybe it is time to explore making that knowledge easier for my younger colleagues to access.

From books sitting on shelves to knowledge available when needed.

Now I am curious.

ACCA 1990 vs 2027

I passed 18 ACCA papers.
From 2027, ACCA will have 11.

Finally.
Something in this world got cheaper. 😂

Food inflation.
Property inflation.
Salary inflation.

ACCA papers?
From 18 to 11.
Close to 40% deflation. 😂

Suddenly, I flashback to 1990.

I was working in audit and studying ACCA at the same time.

Morning, go office.
Daytime, audit.
Evening, rush to class.
Night, go home and study.
Next morning, repeat again.

That was working and studying in the old days.

No work-from-home.
No recorded lecture.

Miss the class?
Too bad.
Your recording was basically your friend’s handwriting. 😂

No internet.
No Google.
No YouTube.
No ChatGPT.
No WhatsApp study group.
No Telegram group sharing notes at 2am.

Just me.
Ci******es.
Kopi O on standby.

A stack of photostated BPP books and past year questions and loose notes everywhere.

Sometimes I looked at the question for 20 minutes.
Still blur.

No AI to ask,
“Please explain this like I am 10 years old.”

My solution was simpler.
Smoke one cigarette.
Drink kopi O.

Read again. 😂
By 1993, I finally cleared all 18 ACCA papers.

People from my generation always say,
“Last time ACCA very tough lah.”

Now?
I don’t know. 😂

Because today’s students have fewer papers.

But they also need to learn things we never had to worry about.

AI.
Data.
Technology.
Sustainability.
Ethic.

In 1990, if you told me accountants would one day use AI to analyse accounts,

I probably would have asked,
“AI is which accounting standard?” 😂

So maybe ACCA did not become easier.
The suffering just got upgraded.

My generation suffered with 18 papers, photostated notes and kopi O.

The new generation suffers with 11 papers…

Progress lah.
Everything got inflation.
At least ACCA got deflation. 😂

57-Year-Old Uncle Still Wants to Play IAFG. 😂

Every year after peak season, MIA organises the Inter-Accounting Firm Games, (IAFG).

Win or lose, we join.
I always support by sending a team or two to take part.
And sometimes, I join myself too. 😂

Nothing to be ashamed of.
I believe I was the oldest player when I joined IAFG futsal and basketball.

If I keep asking my colleagues to participate,
I should also be willing to step onto the court.

Boss cannot always say.
“You all go. I support from office.”

Sometimes, must walk the talk.
Even if afterwards, cannot walk properly. 😂

In 2022, I joined futsal.

Three games. 21 goals conceded.
Seven goals per game. Very consistent.
😂

In 2020, I played 3-on-3 basketball.
We almost reached round two.
But I did not really understand the rules by touching the ball after a basket got us into trouble.

This year, at 57, I wanted another comeback.

I told HR.
“Register me for pickleball. Singles, men’s doubles, mixed doubles. Die die must show face.”

Singles? Confident.
I have a tennis background.
I have even beaten my pickleball coach before.
That one victory must mention. Uncle doesn’t have many. 😂

Doubles?
Give me a beginner. I will try to cover.

Then came one small problem.
Nobody in my office plays pickleball.

Boss had ambition.
HR had no players.
Pickleball plan cancelled.

Next, pool.
In my 20s, I played snooker to help fund my ACCA studies.

Finally, something Uncle might actually win.
Then I checked the date.
Clashed with my motorcycle trip.

Supporting the firm is important.
But the motorcycle trip was already in my calendar. 😂
Pool plan cancelled too.

Then my managers asked.
“Boss, badminton?”
“BIG NO.”
Walk the talk also must know my limits. 😂

These few years in office, finding players has become quite susah.
But six brave colleagues stepped forward to represent our KTP firm.
Thank you to these six for keeping our IAFG spirit going.

We spend months together chasing deadlines.
It is good to spend a day together chasing a shuttlecock.

Supporting IAFG means being willing to show up.
Sometimes as a player.
Sometimes by getting a team together.

For 2026, Uncle is out.
See you in 2027.

Hopefully, I can walk the talk.
And still walk after the game. 😂

In all my years in audit, I have never seen an associate clap after finishing a working paper.

​Until today.

​We just wrapped another SuperAgentK enablement session for an accounting firm in Johor Bahru, but this one marked a major milestone.

​No dummy datasets. No generic sandbox exercises. We worked directly with live client data and real production use cases.

​The biggest hesitation firms have with AI isn’t capability—it’s client confidentiality and data governance. In this session, the associates mastered:

• Efficient, localized data masking before passing tasks to the AI

• Automated agent ex*****on across complex audit procedures

• Seamless unmasking once the deliverable was returned

​In just half a day, the team built working skills for:

• Stock slow-moving provisions
• Finance lease testing
• Project income testing
• Monthly P&L fluctuation analysis
• Detailed P&L tax mapping

​Then the room shifted:

​Associates genuinely excited to present workpapers they had co-built with AI agents.

​Junior auditors clapping as complex tasks resolved cleanly in minutes.

​An Audit Manager smiling—not just at the speed, but with the peace of mind that client data was properly governed throughout.

​The shift in audit isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s practical, safe, and happening right now. There is no reason to sit on the fence.

​Send me a DM to see how SuperAgentK and AiTraining2U can help your practice operationalize AI safely in days, not months.

My IT Team Wanted a Dynamic Website. I Became Static Boss.

Last month, my IT team passed me a 10-page proposal.
“Boss, we want to migrate our website from Squarespace to Vercel Pro.”

We have been using Squarespace since Day 1 of our current website.

To be fair, Squarespace has served us well.
Simple.
Stable.
Easy to manage.

Then my IT team explained that our new website would be faster,
more flexible and
easier to develop in the future.

This is important because a company website is no longer just an online brochure.

It may be the first place where a potential client, employee or business partner meets us.

So far, I still faham.

Then I reached this sentence.
“Next.js front end deployed on Vercel, with Sanity as the headless CMS.”

At that moment, the website became dynamic.

But I became static boss.
My face was still reading the proposal.
My soul had already left the meeting.

😂😂😂

I nodded professionally.
My face said,
“Yes, this architecture makes sense.”

My brain said,
“Can somebody explain this using debit and credit?”

Then my IT team told me that the source code and version history would be maintained in a private GitHub repository.

This part I understood.

The source code will not be sitting inside one person’s laptop.

Every change can be tracked.

If something goes wrong,
the team can see what changed and restore an earlier version.

Suddenly, GitHub sounded less like an IT tool.
It sounded like internal control.
Now the auditor in me was alive again.
😂😂😂

I went to Page 10.
The approval page.

But before signing, these were the questions that mattered to me.

What business problem are we solving?
What will improve for our clients and future employees?
How much will it cost?
Who will maintain it?
How are the source code, security and version history controlled?

I may not understand every line of code.
But I must understand the purpose, cost, risk and responsibility.

That is the difference between trusting your team and blindly approving a proposal.

A boss does not need to be the smartest person in every room.

The boss needs to build capable people,
ask the right business questions and
give them the opportunity to perform.

I signed the proposal.
Approval granted.
Expectation also granted.

Now I look forward to seeing our new website go live.

This week, the website (www.ktp.com.my) goes live in dynamic fashion.

The IT team is proud.
and
I am pround as well.

PS : Feel free to visit our new website www.ktp.com.my

我的 IT Team 想要一个 Dynamic Website. 我却变成了 Static Boss.

上个月, 我的 IT team 交给我一份 10 页的 proposal.
“Boss, 我们想把公司 website 从 Squarespace 搬去 Vercel Pro.”

从我们现在这个 website 上线的 Day 1 开始, 我们一直都在用 Squarespace.

老实说, Squarespace 一直以来都很好用.
简单.
稳定.
容易管理.

接下来, 我的 IT team 解释, 新 website 的速度会更快,
更 flexible,
以后也更容易继续 develop.

这一点很重要, 因为现在公司的 website 已经不只是一个 online brochure.

它可能是 potential client, employee 或 business partner 第一次认识我们的地方.

讲到这里, 我还 faham.

然后, 我读到这一句.
“Next.js front end deployed on Vercel, with Sanity as the headless CMS.”

那一刻, website 变成 dynamic 了.

但是我这个 Boss 却变成 static.
我的脸还在看着 proposal.
我的灵魂已经离开 meeting room 了.

😂😂😂

我很专业地点头.
我的脸在说,
“Yes, this architecture makes sense.”

我的脑袋却在说,
“可以用 debit 和 credit 再解释一次吗?”

接着, IT team 告诉我, source code 和 version history 都会保存在 private GitHub repository 里面.

这个部分, 我明白.

Source code 不会只是放在某一个人的 laptop 里面.

每一次的修改都可以被 tracked.

如果出了什么问题,
team 可以检查哪里被修改过, 再 restore 回之前的 version.

突然间, GitHub 听起来不再只是一个 IT tool.
它听起来很像 internal control.
我身体里面的 auditor 又活过来了.
😂😂😂

我直接翻到 Page 10.
Approval page.

不过在签名之前, 以下这些问题才是我真正关心的.

我们到底在解决什么 business problem?
对我们的 clients 和未来的 employees, 会有什么改善?
需要多少钱?
以后由谁负责 maintain?
Source code, security 和 version history 要怎样管控?

我可能不明白每一行 code.
但是我必须明白它的 purpose, cost, risk 和 responsibility.

这就是相信自己的 team, 和盲目批准一份 proposal 之间的分别.

一个 Boss 不需要在每一个 meeting room 里面, 都是最聪明的那个人.

Boss 真正要做的, 是培养有能力的人,
问对的 business questions,
再给他们机会去表现.

我签了这份 proposal.
Approval granted.
Expectation also granted.

现在, 我很期待看到我们的新 website 正式上线.

这个星期, 我们的新 website, www.ktp.com.my, 终于以 dynamic 的方式正式上线.

IT team 很 proud.
而且
我也一样 proud.

PS : 欢迎大家去看看我们的新 website, www.ktp.com.my

Mierza Farhana
Training Story: 15 Colleagues, 1 First-Time Trainer

When I was asked to lead our AI training programme, my first thought was: I am the most junior person in the room.

Audit and tax colleagues who have been doing this for years, and I'm the one at the front explaining a tool most of them had never opened. I was anxious about it for weeks.

What I did not expect was how fast the help came once I asked for it.

Our AI team from Audit and Tax worked through the scenarios that actually matter such as the bank confirmation that doesn't tie to the GL, the trial balance import, audit assessment and technical query that eats half a morning. They made it specific so we can achieve our AI Automation adoption.

And Yaashiniy Segaran carried the half nobody sees: reviewing every material before it went out, then working the room during the hands-on sessions while I was at the front. Not a solo job.

On 10 and 11 September we ran Day 1 of KTP's AI Automation Training — "Getting Started with Claude." Three sessions, two hours each, 15 colleagues from Audit and Tax.

What we set out to do, and where we landed:

Get everyone from "I've used ChatGPT for emails" to using Claude inside real work. Every session was hands-on, own laptop, own prompts, on a fictional client file. No watching.

Make prompting a skill, not a guess. Prompt structure was picked as the most useful segment of the day, by almost the whole room.

Resolve the confidentiality concern. It was the first concern raised before we even started, so the data-sharing rules went into our agenda.

And the outcome I care about most: all 15 left having named a specific task from their own work they intend to try. Not "I'll explore it." An actual task.

But that's intent, not capability. Everything above is what people told us, not what we measured.

So the next session has to change that. Measured, not self-reported, so the next report can say what people can do rather than how confident they feel. And further out, the goal stops being AI training at all. It becomes AI being an unremarkable part of how an audit or tax work gets done here.

Being nervous was fair. Thinking I had to do it alone was not.

Recently, I attended a session on RMCD’s current audit approach.
I think there are a few points businesses should take note of:

• RMCD is moving towards “informed compliance”. It is not only about whether there is an error, but also why the error happened. RMCD may look at whether it was a one-off mistake or an issue with the company’s process and controls.

• SST is not only a Finance team matter. Staff from Sales, Operations, Procurement and other departments should also understand the SST treatment of the transactions they handle.

• Contract wording matters. Words such as “berkala”, “scheduled” or “maintenance” may affect the SST treatment. The contract wording should also match the actual services provided.

• Digital businesses may face SST in two ways — SST on the services they provide and SST on services they purchase.

• Transfer pricing and Customs valuation are different matters. Any year-end TP adjustment should also be reviewed from the Customs side, especially if it may affect previous import declarations.

• Tariff Code should be reviewed. Make sure the Tariff Code used matches the actual goods, especially if it affects the duty rate or FTA claim.

• FTA / Certificate of Origin – Make sure the proper supporting documents are kept for the FTA claim.

• Imported taxable services should also be reviewed to make sure the correct SST has been accounted for.

• RMCD is using more data and technology to identify unusual transactions. For example, a sudden drop in tax reported or figures that are very different from other businesses in the same industry may attract attention.

What can businesses do?

✔ Review SST treatment and contracts
✔ Make sure staff understand SST
✔ Check imported taxable services
✔ Review Customs valuation and TP adjustments
✔ Review Tariff Code for imported goods
✔ Check FTA / Certificate of Origin documents
✔ Strengthen internal controls and documentation
✔ Review secondment arrangements under the new 6-month condition

For me, the main takeaway is:

SST is not only a Finance team.

Everyone involved in the business should have a basic understanding of how SST applies to the transactions they handle.

It is not only about submitting the SST return correctly. The company should also have proper processes and supporting documents, and be able to explain why the SST treatment is correct when RMCD asks.

New joiners always ask me,
“Boss, audit & tax got future or not?”

Got.

But first you need to survive your audit & tax Odyssey. 😂

Client don’t reply.
Account is messing
Deadline coming.
You start questioning your career choice.

Welcome to the industry. 😂

Every partner you see today was once a blur junior holding one audit file and thinking,
“Why got so many problems?”

Growth is possible.
Just that during the growth…

You may not feel like you are growing.
You may feel like you are dying. 😂

But one day you will look back and realise,

the difficult files,
the review notes,
the crazy deadlines,
the difficult clients…

were all part of your Odyssey.

To all our young auditors and tax people,
Happy ending of 2026 peak.

PS : Authored by Mr Koh Teck Peng, the group principal, in his personal LinkedIn post.

New joiners 常常问我,
“Boss, audit & tax 还有未来吗?”

有.

不过首先,
你要先熬过自己的 audit & tax Odyssey. 😂

Client 不回复.
Account 乱到不懂从哪里开始.
Deadline 越来越近.
然后你开始怀疑自己当初为什么选这一行.

Welcome to the industry. 😂

你今天看到的每一个 partner,
以前都曾经是一个 blur blur 的 junior,
手上拿着一份 audit/tax file,
心里一直想,

“为什么 so many problems?”

Growth is possible.
只是成长的过程里面…

你未必会觉得自己正在成长.
你反而会觉得自己快要死掉了. 😂

但是有一天,
你回头看才会发现,

那些 difficult files,
那些 review notes,
那些 crazy deadlines,
那些 difficult clients…

全部都是你 Odyssey 的一部分.

送给所有 auditors 和 tax people,
Happy ending of 2026 peak season.

你们终于活下来了. 😂
