Nonprofit organisations (NFPs) are under increasing scrutiny to demonstrate financial transparency, governance effectiveness, and sustainability commitment. This project explores how structural, cultural, and regulatory factors shape accountability in the NFP sector. Using archival, survey and interview data, candidates can investigate financial disclosures, sustainability practices, or resource allocation mechanisms.

Outcomes

• Publications in high-quality journals.
• Engage with standard setters, regulators, and practitioners on NFP reporting and assurance.
