Abstract

Recently, money laundering has become a worldwide financial crime, as it can draw a global negative impact by damaging society socially and economically. Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLRO) is responsible in conducting a holistic review of a bank’s client to support the effort of regulators in combatting money laundering and terrorist financing. This study is conducted to examine factors influencing suspicious transaction reporting decisions by MLRO. Questionnaires were distributed to MLRO in three international financial institutions in Malaysia. The outcome of this study showed that there are significant impacts of emotional intelligence, management support, and IT infrastructure on the decision to report suspicious transactions among the MLRO. The conclusion of this study is expected to benefit the Anti-Money Laundering departments in financial institutions, software developers, educators or trainers, and management teams in the effort in fighting money laundering.

Abstract

The study intends to identify smallholder farmers’ readiness to participate in Crop Microtakaful Scheme. This protection is significant for smallholder farmers to provide sustainable economic growth and food security. To understand the necessity of having the scheme, a few key areas must be observed. An overview of the smallholder farmers in Malaysia is presented, focusing on their demographics, readiness to participate in the scheme, and affordable contributions. In addition, risks and perils in agriculture, including natural disasters, pests, and crop diseases, are also outlined. The role of agriculture insurance/takaful is also discussed, highlighting its many benefits to smallholder farmers. For this study, a survey is carried out among 275 smallholder farmers to gain information on their demographic profiles, farming activities, and willingness to contribute to the Crop Microtakaful Scheme. The information is vital in developing a suitable and well-accepted Crop Microtakaful Scheme, specifically among the smallholder farmers in Malaysia. Findings show that a large percentage of the smallholder farmers were ready to participate in a takaful scheme to protect their crop losses. Contributions vary greatly, with 54.2% of respondents willing to contribute an amount ranging from RM50.00 to RM149.00, while 33.9% of respondents are only willing to contribute an amount of less than RM50.00. The Crop Microtakaful Scheme can reduce the community’s dependence on the government with stakeholders’ involvement in contributing a certain sum as part of their corporate social responsibility initiative.

Abstract

Microtakaful is an emerging concept in the insurance industry that aims to provide low-cost, accessible, and Sharia-compliant insurance products to the underserved populations. In Malaysia, the Fruit Microtakaful Scheme has been introduced to address to the needs of low-income households, particularly those in rural areas. There is no gainsaying that microtakaful plays a pivotal role in protecting the lives of low-income farmers as it helps reduce potential risks, they are exposed to curb unforeseen calamities, but there is still low coverage for low-income farmers. Consequently, providing microtakaful for low-income farmers is highly necessary. This article presents a working framework of the Fruit Microtakaful Scheme in Malaysia, including its operational model, distribution channels, marketing strategy, and risk management approach. This study explored the Fruit Microtakaful Scheme framework for Malaysia’s smallholder farmers. A focus group discussion that involved ten participants from various agencies related to the Takaful industry was conducted to determine the underlying basis of the FMTS framework, with the Central Bank of Malaysia as the regulator. The discussion revealed the need for protection against floods, droughts, pests, diseases, season contributions, and the implementation of FMTS. The fruit microtakaful framework for smallholder farmers in Malaysia was presented in this study.

Abstract

Smallholder farmers play a crucial role in the agricultural sector of developing nations, but they are exposed to a number of risks that could result in sizable financial losses. As an alternative risk-sharing mechanism that can assist smallholder farmers in effectively managing their risks, microtakaful has been introduced. The article intends to propose the Paddy Microtakaful Scheme (PMTS) exclusively for smallholding farmers in Malaysia. This protection is significant for smallholder farmers to provide sustainable economic growth and food security. A few key areas must be observed to understand the necessity of having the scheme. An overview of Malaysia’s agriculture sector is presented focusing on land use, employment, and production of food crops among the smallholder farmers. Risks and perils in agriculture, including natural disasters, pests, and crop diseases, are also outlined. The role of PMTS is also discussed, highlighting its many benefits to smallholder farmers. A survey was carried out among 275 smallholder farmers to gain information on their demographic profiles, farming activities as well as their willingness to contribute to the PMTS. The information is vital in developing a suitable and well-accepted PMTS, specifically among smallholder farmers in Malaysia. The PMTS framework presented in this report is based on a hypothetical product that contains four main attributes: 1) types of crops to be insured, 2) type of coverage, 3) contribution or the price, and 4) sum assured/benefit. The scheme includes coverage for natural disasters, pests, and crop diseases with the ultimate objective to reduce the vulnerability of the global food system. Further research will consist of the execution of a pilot program formulated to evaluate the effectiveness of PMTS. With the government’s three-way coordination and active roles, the smallholder farmers and Takaful company will become the essential constituents in realizing the PMTS.

Abstract

The global financial crises, including the one experienced in Malaysia, have raised concerns about the reliability of accounting reports prepared by Malaysian listed companies. In response, regulatory and professional institutions have advocated for reforms aimed at promoting transparency in accounting reports. To this end, this study provides empirical evidence on the direct impact of audit quality and financial performance on corporate tax avoidance among companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. The panel data approach was used to collect data from 276 listed companies on Bursa Malaysia, with 1,656 observations covering a six-year period from 2013 to 2018. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between audit quality, financial performance, and tax avoidance. The findings of this study indicate that audit quality and financial performance have a significant negative association with tax avoidance among Malaysian listed companies. These results suggest that firms with high audit quality and strong financial performance are less likely to engage in tax avoidance practices. The study has implications for policymakers and regulators, as it highlights the need for continued efforts to improve audit quality and financial reporting practices. Additionally, the findings suggest that measures aimed at improving financial performance among Malaysian listed companies may help reduce the prevalence of tax avoidance practices. Therefore, this study contributes to the ongoing debate on the effectiveness of regulatory and professional reforms aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in the financial reporting practices of Malaysian listed companies.
