Last two weeks I attended an International Conference on Forensic Accounting & Financial Criminology held at KL Tower for two days (June 16 & 17, 2009). The conference was great. Many fraud practitioners attended and presented their papers and talks and I learned a lot of new things that I can share with my students in Auditing class next semester.
Among those who present at this inaugural conference were the Dean of Faculty of Accountancy, Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Kamal Abdul Rahman; Director of Accounting Research Institute (ARI), Prof. Dr. Normah Hj. Omar; Prof. Dr. Zabihollah Rezaee (University of Memphis, USA); Prof. Dr. Glen Moyes (University of Texas-Pan American, USA); Rob McCusker (University of Teesside, UK) and many others.
The opening ceremony for The Asia Pacific International Conference on Forensic Accounting and Financial Criminology 2009 was held during dinner on 16 June 2009, with the guest of honour attended by YDH CP Dato’ Koh Hong Sun, the Director of Commercial Crime Investigations Department of Royal Police Malaysia, who represented Tan Sri Musa Dato’ Hassan Azahari, the Inspector General of Police, Malaysia. From UiTM, Professor Dr Mustaffa Mohd Zain, the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic and International) represented the Vice‐Chancellor of UiTM. A book, ‘Combatting Financial Fraud through Forensic Accounting and Financial Criminology’ was launched by CP Dato’ Koh.
This program included two talks by two special guests from overseas, namely Prof. Dr. Zabihollah Rezaee on ‘Researchable topics for accounting research’ and Prof. Dr. Glen Moyes on ‘Sustaining the Phd Journey’. This colloquium was indeed honoured to have two other foreigners, Prof Keith Maunders from University of South Pacific, Fiji, and Mr Rob McCusker. The four visitors were involved in the assessment of Phd progress presentations at the colloquium. We were also facilitated by professors from local universities too, including Prof. Dr. Takiah Iskandar (UKM), Prof. Dr. Fauziah Md. Taib (USM) and Prof Dr Norman (UKM). This full one‐day colloquium was attended by 100 participants from far and near.
Congratulations UiTM!
