Overview

Research in this area covers financial reporting issues, and the processes of setting Australian accounting standards within the global context. Research is undertaken within the broad accountability paradigm and the articulation of the various facets of the performance of organisations. A particular interest is in not-for-profit financial accountability. Projects currently being undertaken focus on the regulation of Australian not-for-profit organisations, including the development of appropriate performance indicators and the valuation and contribution of volunteers.
