ARI Sharing Session at Brahim's Airline Catering Integrity Week

The Accounting Research Institute (ARI) thanks Brahim's Airline Catering for inviting us to participate in its Integrity Week event on 19-21 March 2014. The event which will be held at its corporate office in Sepang will specifically discuss integrity policy related to gifts and entertainment.  As the company has recently signed the Corporate Integrity Pledge (CIP) with the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission, Brahim's Airline Catering is also very keen to know more about ARI's work on Corporate Integrity System Malaysia (CISM) with the Malaysian Institute of Integrity (IIM).  CIP is a document that allows a company to make a commitment to uphold the anti-corruption principles in Malaysia. By signing the pledge, a company is making a unilateral declaration that it will not commit corrupt acts, will work toward creating a business environment that is free from corruption and will uphold the Anti-Corruption Principles for Corporations in Malaysia in the conduct of its business and in its interactions with its business partners and the Government. On the premise that corruption is the direct result of "lack of integrity" of individuals and/or organizations, CISM is an instrument developed to measure and assess integrity practices at workplaces.  Two Brahim's officers - Mr Hisham and Mr Mahat visited ARI's office to discuss possible programs to be offered during the integrity week event.  Three ARI researchers - Prof Normah, Associate Prof Dr Jamaliah and Associate Professor Dr Zuraidah have been invited as speakers at Brahim's Integrity Week on 19-21 March 2014.
