Forensic Accountants - New Professionals

In view of the current fraudulent landscapes involving financial statements, ARI and the Faculty of Accountancy are working very hard to produce a new breed of professional investigators. Through our very own Master in Forensic Accounting and Financial Criminology and supported by our Centre of Excellence Asia-Pacific Forensic Accounting Research Centre (AFARE), Universiti Teknologi MARA is producing highly talented forensic accounting investigators and criminologists.
In ensuring that that our graduates are marketable the curriculum have been designed to incorporate both theory and practice into the classrooms. Forensic practitioners have been invited to share their experiences with the students. By the end of 2009, we hope to produce fifty (50) forensic accounting professionals.
In addition, we are also working very closely with regulatory agencies such as the Inland Revenue Board, Royal Malaysian Police, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commissioner, Central Bank, Malaysian Institute of Accountants and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners in training professionals.
