KUALA LUMPUR: MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd has appointed Nur Izwan Mohd Nawawi as the officer-in-charge on an interim basis effective Aug 12, 2024, following the resignation of the company's chief financial officer (CFO), Dr Mazatul 'Aini Shahar Abdul Malek Shahar.

The refined sugar producer said Nur Izwan will assume the CFO's responsibilities and authorities until the board identifies a suitable candidate for the position.

"Throughout this period, Nur Izwan will be able to ensure continuous and uninterrupted running of all finance-related transactions and operations,"  it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.

MSM said Nur Izwan holds a Bachelor of Accounting (Hons) degree from the International Islamic University Malaysia and has 22 years of in-depth experience in accounting and finance.

"He is also a member of the Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) and Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA)," it said.

In a separate filing earlier, MSM said Mazatul 'Aini Shahar has resigned to take on a position as CFO at a financial institution.
