| ACTIVITIES |
| The Association continues to bring benefits to its members and the public by organizing various activities in line with its objectives. Some of the activities are: |
| |
| a) Annual Conference |
| The MFA is proud to be the pioneer in organizing a national-level conference that specializes in finance. Since its inaugural workshop in 1999, the meeting of finance academicians and practitioners has developed to become an annual symposium and today, owing to the overwhelming response, the meeting is now known as an annual conference. The conference is hosted by local institutions of higher learning, both public and private, on rotational basis. To date, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Malaya (UM), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Multimedia University (MMU), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) , Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), Multimedia University (MMU), Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Terengganu and Taylor's University College have hosted the conference. The 14th Annual Conference, scheduled in 2012, will be hosted by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). |
| |
| The conference is a great platform for academicians and practitioners to discuss and exchange ideas pertaining to issues related to finance. It also provides an avenue for researchers to share their findings on financial issues relevant to Malaysia. Selected papers from the conference are published in the Capital Market Review which is an official publication of Bursa Malaysia and Research Institute of Investment Analysts Malaysia (RIIAM). |
| |
b) Data Analysis Workshop |
| The Association has successfully organized a number of research methodology workshops that were held at various local institutions of higher learning. The aim of the workshops is to introduce a wider choice of analytical tools to the participants. The workshops were facilitated by experts in econometrics, who introduced the latest and sophisticated techniques in time series data analysis. Prof. Dr. Abul Mansor Mohamed Masih of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, who is a prolific researcher in the field of finance, has also conducted one of the workshops. |
