Governance, accountability and regulation
The research in the area of accountability and governance covers the breadth of the contemporary issues that face business professionals, accountants and financial managers in today's rapidly changing organisations, whether they are based in the private or non profit sectors. How organisations are governed, what determines their performance and governance arrangements, what are the risk factors facing modern organisation and how do we build capacity for the future through superannuation and wealth management? Researchers with international affiliations examine these research questions in multi jurisdictional settings.
