Risk management enables the standardisation of best governance practices within IRBM.
In accordance with the Prime Minister’s Directive No. 1 of 2009 entitled, “An Initiative to
Consolidate the Integrity of the Malaysian Government’s Administration Management
System : Establishment of a Committee on Governance Integrity”, which was issued on

risk management techniques prior to the implementation of projects or programmes,
especially those with high risks in order to minimise risks during their implementations. Thus,
IRBM has complied with this directive as part of the effort to strengthen its administration
management system.
IRBM has successfully collected direct tax worth RM133.700 billion in 2014 with a 3.70%
increase as compared to RM128.933 billion in 2013. The achievement is a result of
integrated and continuous effort of IRBM’s workforce among Hasilian in collecting the
targeted direct tax through the implementation of respective functions in addition to the
economic factors which also contributed to the increase in the collection.

The 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) programme was announced by the Prime Minister for
its 3rd year implementation during the bill of supply (2014 budget speech) on October 25th
2013.
BR1M programme is spearheaded by the Ministry of Finance (MOF), and IRBM was duly

letters to applicants.
For those who did not report any registered bank accounts, BR1M vouchers distribution
