Lt Kol. Prof Madya Dr Mohd Noor Azli Bin Haji Ali Khan also shared several thesis papers by UTM researchers whose studies focused on internet financial reporting (IFR), including best practices for multiple regression calculations, including the research conducted by Field, Coakes, Steed and Bausell (2005). After the sharing session, he also held a question-and-answer session with students from UTM and UGM. One of the questions posed was related to how Internet technologies are currently being used to allow benchmarking to be made to forecast the future of these technologies. The participants could observe how organisations from various industries adopt distinctive reporting practices through the session.

The principal ended his presentation by expressing his hope that the students, particularly those from UGM, will be able to engage and understand what Internet Financial Reporting (IFR) is about—the modern practise of disseminating corporate financial and performance data via Internet technologies such as the World Wide Web and be able to use it in their studies of statistics. The UGM principal also had the opportunity to address the audience, expressing UGM’s gratitude for the visit and their enthusiasm to learn more about UTM.
