Community at your fingertips.

What is JIRAN?
JIRAN was a community service we initiated to help Residents Associations (RA) to systematically manage their communities. RA operations are typically run by self-less individuals that volunteer their time to run their security scheme and serve their community.
Serving in residential communities is hard. We know. We also serve in residential committees. JIRAN was put together to address the greatest requirements for resident associations – ACCOUNTABILITY. Especially more so when it involved the application of money toward up keeping facilities and services such as security.
Designed as a web-browser application, JIRAN is a combination of features that allows the administration of RAs communities’ membership, financial, security, documentation, and local council matters, with special attention to the auditability, control and ease-of-use a RA would expect. In essence, it brings corporate processing standards and best practices to your communities.
Why is it so hard to manage Resident Association Affairs?
JIRAN is not only needed to help with the day-to-day problems of managing RAs, but it is also to comply with Malaysia Income Tax regulations pertaining the operations of Clubs, Associations or similar Institutions.
Supports the implications of Malaysia Tax Regulations
- Taxability Of Clubs, Associations Or Similar Institutions effective from 2009 onward
- Tracking of taxable and non-taxable incomes
- Separate record keeping for transactions from members and non-members
Inaccessible Residents Data
Most times, security schemes are run on someone’s personal computer or on paper and does not allow data to be readily accessible, when required.
Time Consuming
The burden remains the same when volunteers work. Managing resident payments, receipts, and financial and service records is time-consuming. Preparing physical receipts for resident payments are difficult.
Lack of Transparency
The usage and management of monies collected from residents is the most controversial component of any security schemes. People demand openness and accountability.
Specialized
Management of a guarded security system necessitates a collection of experts with a variety of talents in fields such as public relations, computing, human resource management, communications, negotiating, and accountancy. And a firm grasp of the legal difficulties associated with a protected scheme & Malaysian Taxation laws.
