Expert Profile
Dr. Hafiz Majdi started his career as an audit assistant at a public accounting firm in Kuala Lumpur in 1994. However, due to his passion for teaching, he resigned and joined the International Islamic University Malaysia in 1995 as an Assistant Lecturer. He then left for England in September 1995 to pursue his Master's degree in Accounting and Finance at Lancaster University. He obtained a distinction in his Master's degree and then, continued his Ph.D study at the same university. His Ph.D thesis focuses on the influence of information disclosure and cost of capital (i.e. both cost of equity and cost of debt).
Since he came back after the completion of his Ph.D in 2000, he has been very much involved in teaching of the higher level courses in the undergraduate (e.g. Accounting Theory and Policy) and postgraduate programmes (e.g. Financial Accounting and Reporting, and Quantitative Methods). Due to his strong exposure to the quantitative research design during his Ph.D at Lancaster University, he has always been required to teach quantitative research methods. Administratively, he has held positions including Deputy Dean (Postgraduate), Postgraduate Coordinator and Head of Accounting Department.
Dr. Hafiz Majdi has published research papers in international refereed journals in the areas of disclosure, intellectual capital and corporate governance, and supervised more than thirty postgraduate students at both Master's and Ph.D levels. He is currently writing a book on Accounting Theory where he comprehensively compares the Accounting Frameworks between the Conventional view and the Shariah perspective. He is presently an Associate Professor at the Department of Accounting.
