1)expedite the verification processes of financial documents;

2)ensure the financial documents comply with IIUM financial guidelines and procedures;

3)facilitate practical, cost - effective and creative improvements from time to time;

4)adopt the best practices of other Research Universities 

Thus, Research Management Centre will no longer accept financial documents for verification and approval under FRGS and RIGS grants except Travelling Approval and Purchase of Equipment Approval (Vote V35000) effective 18^th September 2017.
