Expert Profile
Siti Alawiah joined IIUM in 2001 and since then her academic involvement is primarily in the financial management of Islamic non-financial institutions (i.e waqf, zakat, baitulmal and mosques) and the public sector. Her interest in these areas are reflected in both of her teaching and research profiles. She wrote a dissertation for the MSc (Accounting) on the financial management of mosques in Malaysia while her PhD focused on the accountability of waqf institutions in Malaysia. Her expertise in these areas has been recognized at the national level when she is recently appointed by the Accountant General Department Malaysia to lead a research team on the development of the Islamic accounting standards for Waqf, Zakat and Baitulmal institutions in Malaysia. She is also currently involved in researches on financial sustainability of the Malaysian higher education institutions and the implementation of accrual accounting in the Malaysian public sector. She has presented various papers in both local and international conferences as well as publishing her works in local and international refereed journals.
On her education, Siti Alawiah sat for the professional accountancy examinations (Chartered Association of Certified of Accountants [ACCA]) right after the high school and obtained the ACCA qualification in 1993. She then completed MSc in Accounting at IIUM and completed her PhD in Accounting & Finance in Cardiff University, UK in 2013. She was accepted as a full member of ACCA and the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) in 1998 and 1999 respectively. She was later conferred the Fellowship of ACCA in 2003.
Prior to joining IIUM, Siti Alawiah spent five years at Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) as an accountant. At present, she is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Accounting, Kulliyyah of Economics & Management Sciences, IIUM since July 2013.
