IAFCC 2013

Today, the Accounting Research Institute (ARI) organises a one day Islamic Accounting & Financial Criminology Conference (IAFCC 2013) in Shah Alam.  A total of fifty nine papers (59) comprising research findings from ARI Phase 1 projects were presented.  Basically the main aims of the conference is firstly, to compile all research papers (either already published or to be published in indexed journals); and secondly to identify and list all research spinoffs derived (or to be derived) from the research projects.  ARI requires that each research project supported by ARI HICoE grant must produce at least five spinoffs, two of which must be in the form of indexed publications.  Index publication means articles are published in journals that are indexed by either ISI Thomson, SCOPUS or Excellence Research Australia (ERA).  In general, most projects have produced the two compulsory publications.  Others are still working on delivering the remaining spinoffs.  Some of the spinoffs recommended during the conference include (i) publication of books of reading, (ii) paper presentation at international conferences, (iii) innovation and (iv) post graduate thesis.  Congratulations to all for your commitment ..
