Fatima was indeed blessed to have graduated with a Bachelor of Accounting (Honours) [BAcc] degree from the IIUM. Owing to the tutelage of her dedicated lecturers, she was awarded the Best Student Award for BAcc in her graduating class, including the award sponsored by Guthrie Group. Soon after joining IIUM as an Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Accounting (DOA), Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Sciences (KENMS), she was fortunate to receive a scholarship from IIUM to pursue her Masters and Ph.D studies at Lancaster University. Her Ph.D thesis was entitled "The Essays on a True and Fair View". She was privileged to have been supervised by Professor Ken Peasnell, Dr. Pelham Gore, and earlier by Professor Peter Pope, who are well-respected in their fields.
Upon returning with a doctorate, the DOA assigned Fatima to specialize in Financial Reporting, and later Auditing. Fatima was truly fortunate to receive the Best Teacher Award of the Department in 2008. She is also honored to have been entrusted with various academic administrative positions, a few of which are Industrial Training Coordinator and Postgraduate Coordinator of the DOA, and Deputy Dean (Academic) at the faculty. Her current responsibility is as the Head of Research of the KENMS.
Fatima has supervised postgraduate students from several South East Asian countries, Africa and the Middle East. Working with these budding local and international researchers as well as colleagues has fueled her research interests and publications in the areas of Intellectual Capital, Ethics, Audit Quality and Accounting Education.
Other opportunities given to Fatima were as a member of Sub-Committee for Halatuju 2 and 3, one of the external reviewers for the inaugural accreditation review by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) of the Bachelor of Accounting Degree, University Malaya and as an Honorary Auditor for the financial statements of the Institute of Public Accountants (Malaysia branch).
