EY Malaysia PLT (Ernst & Young) is a premier professional services firm in Malaysia, delivering assurance, consulting, strategy and transactions, and tax services. It functions as a locally owned and operated limited liability partnership integrated within the global EY network.
Company Overview
EY Malaysia is an elite tier-one accounting and professional services organization headquartered at Menara Milenium in Kuala Lumpur.

While it remains entirely independent in its domestic management, it operates as a member firm of the international Ernst & Young Global Limited (EYG) network, a UK company limited by guarantee that serves capital markets worldwide.
