INTRODUCTION TO THE FACULTY OF

BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTANCY
Business education in the University of Malaya dates back to 1966 when
the Faculty of Economics and Administration first offered business and
accounting courses. In line with the increasing demand for accounting and
business programmes, the Faculty of Business and Accountancy (FBA) was
subsequently established on the 1st of February 1997 to focus on developing
these programmes. FBA strives to meet the challenges of preparing students
to play a vital role in industry and nation building. FBA seeks to remain at the
forefront of business and accounting education and continues to enjoy the
reputation as an excellent knowledge-based institution.
FBA is headed by a Dean and assisted by three Deputy Deans and five
Heads of Department.
The five departments are the Department of Business Policy and Strategy,
Department of Finance and Banking, Department of Accounting, Department
of Marketing and Department of Operations and Management Information
Systems.
Currently, FBA offers six successful programmes. The three programmes
offered at the postgraduate level are Master of Business Administration (MBA),
Master of Management (MM) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), while the three
undergraduate programmes are Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA),
Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc) and Bachelor of Finance (BOF).
As part of our effort to strengthen our programmes, FBA has collaborations
with various business communities and government agencies. In addition,
there are several Faculty members who are affiliated to professional bodies
such as the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA), Malaysian Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA), Association of Chartered Certified
Accountants (ACCA), Malaysian Institute of Chartered Secretaries and
Administrators (MAICSA) and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) as well as
advisors to several financial institutions such as the Bank Muamalat, Public
