I am thankful to Allah, God Almighty for giving me the courage to write an article on "Current Mechanisms and Future Initiatives Shaping Ethical Behaviour of Professional Accountants in Malaysia". The paper was authored by me, Zubir Azhar; Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Kamal Abdul Rahman; and Dr. Sharifah Khadijah Syed Agil.
All in all, UiTM won two prizes - the Silver and Bronze awards respectively. The Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Committee organises the competition as a way of selecting suitable articles to be submitted to the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) for the annual "IFAC Articles of Merit".
