Tax Misreporting and Audit Adjustment

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent of tax misreporting committed by firms in Malaysia. Tax misreporting is measured by independent variables namely firm size, types of tax agent, types of ownership and types of business sectors. The study takes the approach of using actual data sample from 555 corporate tax audit cases that has been audited and finalised in the year of 2009 by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM). The level of tax misreporting is primarily measured by the IRBM's audit adjustments. Using t-test and ANOVA, the study indicates size of firms, types of tax agents, form of ownerships and types of business sectors have signifcant difference to audit adjustments. The study recommends that the IRBM could utilize firm's characteristics in selecting tax audit cases in future; change and revamp tax audit approach because tax evasion possibly could be hardly detected by tax authority in future. The study provides useful feedback to the government as a policymaker to revamp and improve current approach on tax audit; reinforce and design effective tax administration systems in order to curb tax evasion which results an increase in government's revenue and any loopholes to the tax administration can be improvised as tax evasion cannot be compromised in Malaysia

Analysis of Metabolite Levels, Secondary Minerals and Aloe Vera Formulation from Kalimantan Indonesia

Products from natural ingredients such as aloe vera must be high quality and meet standardization aspects. Determination of secondary metabolites and mineral levels is part of the standardization of natural product products. The dosage formula needs to be optimized to get the best formula based on evaluating the physical properties of the gel preparation. This study aimed to analyze the highest mineral and metabolite content between aloe vera from South Kalimantan and West Kalimantan, as well as the optimum formula for aloe vera gel based on its physical properties. The research method used is to perform sample preparation, extraction, analysis of minerals and secondary metabolites by spectroscopy. The data were analyzed descriptively, and the results showed that the content of iron, calcium, and zinc originating from West Kalimantan was 0.314 mg/g; 93.42 mg/g; 0.059 mg/g, while South Kalimantan 0.064 mg/g, 53.24 mg/g, 0.032 mg/g. The total phenolic, flavonoid, and anthraquinone levels from West Kalimantan were 0.512%, 1.31%, respectively, 2.28%, while those from South Kalimantan were 0.321%, 1.12%, 1.14%. The best formula for aloe vera gel is formula three, which has a darker color and meets the requirements of the physical properties of the gel. This study concludes that the highest mineral content in aloe vera comes from West Kalimantan, the highest secondary metabolite content also comes from West Kalimantan. And the best formula is the third formula with 20% natural dyes. Suggestions for further research are to examine the mineral content and secondary metabolites of aloe vera in various places in Indonesia so that the best aloe vera can be known

Bachelor of landscape architecture thesis : proposed astronomical outdoor gallery at National Planetarium, Kuala Lumpur

The project presents a design and planning of the outdoor space of the National Planetarium in Kuala Lumpur. The planetarium exhibits equipment and artefacts on astronomy and space technology to travel beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. This indoor gallery allows people to observe the celestial objects and learn about phenomena in space. But the indoor spaces in the building limit the activities to educate people. Therefore, this proposal intends to extend the learning process of astronomy to the outdoor as a gallery. The 23-acre gallery is located on a hilltop of hill that affords scenic view to the city. The concept of the design is “evolution of astronomical time-line†which highlights a journey from ancient period to modern technological era. The site is divided into eight zones: Ancient Period, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Early Greek, Chinese, Islamic, Renaissance and Modern Era which is famous for their exploration of celestial objects. Firstly, the ancient park let visitors to experience the early astronomical era from 3100B.C. such as the Stonehenge and Babylonian astronomy. Facilities such as information centre, food corner, surau, phone booth and toilet are provided. The rest of the zones are composed instruments and sculptures such as astrolabe, globe, quadrant, sundial and equatorium to highlight the character of the era and automatically become a landmark to generate emotional attachment among users. Finally, the journey of the time-line ends at Modern Era Park where visitors can interact with the exhibition items in observatory gallery, playing with the water element and small kiosk and observe the celestial objects. Children also can learn about astronomy while they are playing with the sun tunnels and other equipments in children planet. The users can experience about the evolution of astronomy after they complete their journey in all zones
