Our History

University of Malaya Accounting Club (UMAC)

University of Malaya Accounting Club (UMAC) is orginated from Accounting Club University of Malaya. UMAC is first established on 17 September 1969 and registered under Student Affairs, Division of Universiti Malaya, also known as Hal Ehwal Pelajar (HEP) on 10 June 1975. Executive Committees are the one who run and manage the affairs of UMAC, which then later called as Board of Directors.

Objectives of UMAC during first establishment

To foster a closer relationship between the undergraduates of Accounting and the various accounting bodies in Malaysia.

1

To encourage a closer relationship between the undergraduates and the faculty staff in general and the staff of the Division of Accounting in particular.

2

To instil more interest in studying and understanding the principles of Accounting among the undergraduates.

By the first objective, we hope to provide undergraduates with the opportunity to have a better knowledge of the practical side of the accounting profession and to offer guidance on what is needed when they enter into the profession. Through interaction between the undergraduates and the staff, we hope to create an atmosphere of goodwill, in which all can work together in contributing towards the objectives of the club.

Because of UMAC is highly recognised by Universiti Malaya, the club has been rated as a 5-star club. UMAC's purpose is to play a complementary role in producing high calibre accountants. As proof, UMAC has organised a variety of projects that have benefited all accounting and non-accounting students by collaborating with professional bodies and corporate sectors. By having such a strong foundation, we will continue to strive for greater heights for all members and students particularly in accounting field.
