Master in Forensic Accounting and Financial Criminology (MFAFC)
Assalamualaikum, and a very good day to everyone. As per the title, now I just would like to share a little bit on it, just glimpse for those who feels like, they want to pursue, but not sure whether it suits you or not, or if you just curious on what it is all about.
MFAFC is basically under Faculty of Accountancy UiTM. Previously based in Puncak Alam, last year in September 2018 they had moved back to Menara SAAS, UiTM Shah Alam since it is more accessible than being in Puncak Alam. In terms of duration, for full-time is 1 1/2 year while for part time is 2 years. You are expected and need to complete it within that time frame. In terms of extend, you can only extend for 1 semester only before you will be dismissed by the university (correct me if I'm wrong). To pass the subjects that you take, the marks must be 65/100, a.k.a. getting B and above (correct me if I'm wrong). Below than that, then you will need to repeat the subject/paper again. Basically, you need to score both for on-going assessments and also your final exam, since it is a bit different than the undergraduate.
UiTM will open their registration twice a year (for September and March intake), with two intake each time; the first and second intake. If you've missed the first intake, you can apply for the second one, but bear in mind the second intake registration open shorter than the first one.You need to be alert on it.
For courses, full-time students need to take 6 subjects each semester, for semester one and two, while only one subject which is dissertation in semester 3, which is the final semester. Since it is MFAFC, you will learn about risk management, public sector accounting fraud, fraud examination, legal aspects forensic accounting, taxation, research methodology and a few more subjects, where most of it will basically revolve around fraud, since this is the main purpose of this course.
In terms of learning process, mostly you need to do the reading, discussion and presentation. It's interesting, since you've got to learn fraud cases, how to detect one, what are the laws relating to it and a lot more things. Since it is in Master's level, there will be more discussion and analysis that need to be made, which is fun! You've got to learn a lot more things, and it requires you to think critically and to connect one point with another, how by behaving or acting like this will affect the rest of the performance and etc.
In terms of career development, there are a lot of areas that you can go for after finish it, either in external audit, internal audit, advisory and government agency (that''s all I can think for now, do let me know other areas available! 😉😉).
Hope this just a little bit on what I know and based on my experience can help you in a any way that it can! Good luck in embarking your journey, wherever you go.
