1.0 Introduction

The Accounting Research Institute (ARI) was initially formed as a special

interest group in 2002. Its role was to pave the pathway for systematic and

robust research in accounting specifically in areas such as the practice and

theory of financial accounting, financial criminology, corporate governance,

management accounting, financial reporting, public sector accounting,

taxation and accounting information system.

Over the years, ARI has advanced from being a

special interest group and to becoming a

research centre, and now a research institute.

In November 2009, the Ministry of Higher

Education recognized ARI as the Higher Institution

Centre of Excellence

(HiCOE). ARI currently has eight (8) centres of

excellence under its wings.

These centres were co-established through strategic alliances with various

national and international professional bodies and related agencies. The

research centres are:

CIMA-UiTM Asian Management Accounting Research Centre (AMARC)

UiTM-MICG Corporate Governance Research centre (CGRC)

UiTM-ACCA Financial Reporting Research (FRRC)

UiTM-ACPE Asia-Pacific Forensic Accounting Research Centre (AFARe)

UiTM-CPA Australia Public sector Accountng Research Centre (PSARC)

UiTM-ACCA Asia-Pacific Sustainability Research Centre (APCeS)

UiTM-GLC Government Linked-Companies Research Centre (GLCRC)

Islamic Accounting & Mu’amalt Research centre (IAMRC)

The research institute aspires to further establish

strategic alliances with at least five top-notch global

research centres, championed by ARI’s respective

research centres and SIGs. While the institute

continues to contribute its expertise ina varietyof

accounting fields, ARI at present is focusing on

research in its niche area of Islamic Financial

Criminology, conforming to national aspirations of
