    Malaysia continues to be a destination ofchoice for Shared Services and Outsourcing(SSO). The facts and statistics speak foritself.

    In 2011, Malaysia secured 30newinvestments in the SSO sector withpotential investments of US$101 mln.

    These new investments are expected tocreate an additional 7,000jobs over thenext three years.

    Information technology outsourcingexpected to grow from over US$800 mlnin 2010 to over US$2 blnin 2015.

    Business process outsourcing expected togrow from US$187 mln in 2010 to overUS$700 mlnin 2015.

    As of 2010, there are close to 200SSOcompanies within MSC Malaysia. Out ofthis number, 80are MNCs operating theirregional/global shared services operationsfrom Malaysia.

    The SSO sector is expected to grow in

    Malaysia because businesses need toconsider alternate locations for optimumservice and business delivery. Asglobalisation continues, increasedacceptance of offshore delivery and scarcityof talented resource skill sets will pushorganisations to maximise the value ofbusiness and support services in strategiclocations.

    The Star Online

    We believe that the first step to any SSO setup is to optimise the competitive cost benefitsstrategically within the selected SSO location while keeping in view the companysmedium to long term strategy. This is so that the SSO is able to add value as an effective

    service provider to the overall organisation as the SSO grows with its adopted countryseconomics and direction.

    OpportunityA global IT solution conglomerate with an established SSC business and operational modelcontinue to seek active partnering with their statutory auditors to meet their long termstrategic vision of becoming the top of the class Centre of Excellence (COE) in their chosenSSC activities in this case, accounting and operational processes.

    The Corporate Headquarters (HQ) management team, and supported by the central PwCteam had tasked PwC Malaysia to work closely with the SSC management in Malaysia todeliver the optimum audit execution model for the region, and to manage the overallconsistency and costs of the audits within the Asia Pacific region. Traditional challenges facedby the SSC management in meeting the statutory filing and other compliance deadlines in therespective countries become a primary focus. Accordingly, the organisation views compliancerisk as an important business risk to mitigate and the requirement for a single contact pointPwC team becomes increasingly important to successfully manage the critical success factorof the COE.

    Our rolePwC Malaysia collaborated closely with the central PwC team to coordinate and manage thecentralisation of the statutory audit processes and its respective audit completion by a singlecore PwC team in Malaysia. The team worked closely with the in-country PwC teams todeliver quality and experience, and at the same time managing and building the front endclient relationship at the COE, where the process and accounting owners reside. Oversight ofthe local country sign-offs retained by the Country Chief Financial Officer remains afundamental part of the engagement where both PwC teams in Malaysia and the respectivecountry maintain joint relationship.

    OutcomeWith the centralised audit model implemented in the Malaysian COE, the SSC graduallyachieved process harmonisation in its delivery of audit expectations, meeting statutorydeadlines to manage legal risks, keeping compliance costs to a reasonable range due toshared labour arbitrage benefits within the PwC network firms, increased employeeproductivity due to standardised co-operation and communication protocols with PwC, andcontinuous process improvement through regular communication with PwC. The COE inMalaysia has since become recognised within the global organisation as a role-model for SSCprocess design and implementation.

    OpportunityA major conglomerate with regional operations in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand,Indonesia, Singapore and Australia wanted to centralise its HR operations in a shared servicecentre.

    We assisted the conglomerate in preparing its business case and roadmap for shared services

    transformation.

    Our rolePwC performed a workload analysis, and categorised the types of HR activities performedwithin the group to identify potential groupings of HR work that was suitable to betransferred to the shared service centre. We also identified the service level and pricingstructure that was to be implemented in the short-run (as well as pricing modifications to beimplemented over the course of five years).

    Our analysis included an assessment of existing error rates in performance of work, labour

    and technology cost structures in HR units in different entities across the region, cost-benefitassessment of greenfield and brownfield locations within the same country, identified issuesand obstacles to implementation, and facilitated discussions with management on thestrategic direction sought for the HR Shared Service Centre (HRSSC). To this end, wedeveloped three different models that could be adopted by management, including potentialorganisation structures to be adopted.

    OutcomeThe relocation of HRSSC processes to a lower-cost environment generated improvement andsavings. Consolidation, standardisation and reengineering of HRSSC processes helped gain

    efficiencies. Work that was transferred to the shared service centre represented transactionaland repetitive processes while certain strategic-level HR activities were maintained at theconglomerates headquarters.

    OpportunityA global oilfield services company had set up a SSC in Kuala Lumpur which will beresponsible for statutory reporting and tax compliance for Asia, Middle East, Europe andAfrica. Prior to the SSCs setup, a number of service providers were engaged to provide auditand tax services. Since moving forward the source information would be derived from theSSC, management decided to switch to a single service provider and leverage on a partnershipthat worked closely in improving and streamlining processes, and to achieve a best-in-classcompliance practices to mitigate compliance risks.

    The company asked PwC to quote for audit and tax services to be provided centrally.Management chose PwC as its auditor because of the firms extensive footprint in Malaysiaand overseas. Furthermore, management felt that with PwC on board there was immediatesynergies to be achieved via the integration of legal entity audits with that of the companysintegrated audit.

    Our roleWe provided audit services for the companys legal entities in the Eastern Hemisphere. Wealso provided feedback on standardisation and optimisation of control and recommendedimprovements to the control environment.

    OutcomeAudit lead time and efforts on clients and PwC side was significantly reduced due to comfortfrom testing controls centrally and reliance placed on comfort from IT systems testedcentrally. Timelines for filing of financial statements were met with minimisation of risk fromnon-compliance. PwCs feedback on control improvements and implementation of new

    controls assisted in standardisation and optimisation of SSC utilisation.
