HELP University and ISCA collaborate
HELP University, a private university in Malaysia, and the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) have teamed up to provide new educational opportunities for students pursuing accounting careers.
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.

EU Lawmakers Propose Further Easing of ESG Rules Amid Backlash
European lawmakers are considering drastic cuts in the number of companies subject to new ESG reporting requirements, raising concerns the bloc is doing serious damage to its sustainability agenda. Jorgen Warborn, the member of parliament charged with ushering the changes through the legislature, proposed that only companies with more than 3,000 employees should be in scope of the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, according to documents shared by Warborn on LinkedIn. That compares with a current threshold of 250, and triples a proposal by the European Commission to raise it to 1,000.

Europe Oil Field Chemicals Industry Report, 2024-2025 & 2034 - Shift Toward Biodegradable, Non-toxic, and REACH-compliant Chemical Formulations
The Europe oil field chemicals market is expected to grow from $3.42 billion in 2024 to $5.23 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 4.33%. This growth is driven by the increasing need for eco-friendly chemical solutions in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and drilling operations, complying with strict EU regulations. Operators are adopting advanced chemistries like biodegradable surfactants and nanotechnology-enhanced additives to improve well output and efficiency. Strategic partnerships and local manufacturing boost supply chain resilience, crucial for navigating Europe's energy demands and sustainability goals. Challenges include high R&D costs and regulatory complexities. European Oil Field Chemicals Market Dublin, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Europe Oil Field Chemicals Market: Focus on Application, Base Oil, and Country-Level Analysis - Analysis and Forecast, 2024-2034" report has been added to Europe oil field chemicals market is projected to reach $5.23 billion by 2034 from $3.42 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 4.33% during the forecast period 2024-2034. The growing need for high-performance, environmentally friendly chemical solutions for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), production, and drilling activities is propelling the market expansion in Europe. Operators are depending more and more on modern oil-field chemistries to increase well output, expedite extraction, and adhere to strict EU rules as energy demands rise and exploration moves towards established North Sea fields and unconventional regions. Adoption of eco-friendly formulations and green manufacturing techniques is rising due to strict REACH regulations and Europe's ambitious Net Zero and ESG targets, which minimise environmental impact while satisfying compliance requirements. Improvements in reservoir performance and operational efficiency are being driven by developments in smart chemistries, such as customised polymer systems, biodegradable surfactants, and additives boosted by data-supported interventions are made possible by the combination of real-time chemical dosing systems and AI-driven monitoring platforms, which further maximises cost-effectiveness and scalability. In the meantime, the development of European production centres and strategic alliances between global speciality chemical firms and local suppliers are strengthening the robustness of the supply chain, guaranteeing regulatory compliance, and improving responsiveness to local demand. Together, these developments are advancing the advanced oil-field chemicals industry and preparing European operators to handle the escalating energy difficulties while maintaining environmental responsibility. Europe Oil Field Chemicals Market Trends, Drivers and Challenges Trends Shift toward biodegradable, non-toxic, and REACH-compliant chemical formulations. Integration of smart technologies like AI-driven chemical monitoring and dosing systems. Increasing use of nanotechnology and advanced surfactants for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Strategic partnerships between global players and regional suppliers to boost local production. Rising demand for green manufacturing and closed-loop chemical systems aligned with ESG goals. Drivers Growing need for high-performance chemicals in mature fields and complex drilling environments. Strict environmental regulations and Net-Zero targets driving eco-friendly product innovation. Expansion of offshore exploration and production, particularly in the North Sea. Government incentives and EU funding for sustainable energy and chemical R&D. Increasing focus on operational efficiency and production optimization through advanced chemistries. Challenges High R&D costs for developing compliant and sustainable chemical formulations. Regulatory complexity across EU member states affecting market standardization. Volatility in crude oil prices impacting exploration budgets and chemical demand. Limited availability of raw materials for specialty chemical production in some regions. Pressure on supply chains due to geopolitical tensions and rising transportation costs.
