ACCA and IAAER launch international education research call


five research grants available for projects to advance accounting education

07 Nov 2007

A global invitation for research proposals to advance the field of
accounting education has been launched jointly by the International
Association for Accounting Education and Research (IAAER) and ACCA (the
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). 

Up to five research grants of $25,000, funded by ACCA, the world's largest
and fastest-growing global professional accountancy body, will be awarded
under the programme, which aims to support the work of the International
Accounting Education Standards Board (IAESB). The IAESB is the independent
accounting education standard-setting board operating under the auspices of
the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), the representative body
for the global accountancy profession.

Professor Gary Sundem, IAAER Vice President Education and Chair of the grant
program advisory committee said: "Funding decisions will be made on the
potential of the research to provide valuable input to IFAC member
organisations and to the task of advancing accounting education worldwide.
Research that helps to develop a better understanding of the current state
of accounting education in various countries and the obstacles to the
implementation of international standards would be welcomed." 

Possible research issues might include: 

*       The variation in delivery of accounting education and training,
including practical experience requirements, across jurisdictions; 
*       The impact of socio-economic and political environments on the
delivery of accounting education and training; 
*       Comparison of competences in pre- and post-qualification accounting
education and training; 
*       The role of accounting education and training in areas such as
ethics, IT and finance; and 
*       The role of universities versus professional organisations in
providing accounting education and training. 

Clare Minchington, ACCA - Managing Director, Learning & Technical Policy
said: "ACCA is glad to work with the IAAER and to finance this research call
for many reasons. As a professional body, we have a Royal Charter obligation
to further the public interest and to advance the cause of accounting
education. And as a global organisation, and a staunch supporter of IFAC, we
want to ensure that international standards are implemented successfully in
all countries. This initiative also complements ACCA's own well-established
research programme, which is delivering projects that develop thinking in
accounting and financial management. And finally, having launched our new
Professional Qualification in 2007, we are always keen to be at the
forefront of educational progress."

Deadline for proposal submissions is 31 March 2008 . Funded projects will be
showcased at events involving representatives from IFAC's IAESB and renowned
accounting education researchers. 

Henry Saville, IAESB Chair, said: "IAESB has just issued its 2007-2009
Strategic and Operational Plan and one of the main points of focus of that
plan is the measurable implementation of International Education Standards.
We have a key role to play in helping all member bodies and stakeholders
develop high quality accounting education programmes as well as enhancing
the level of competence of accountants worldwide and promoting a strong
ethical culture. We look forward to this research call bringing forward
fresh thinking and ideas to help us do this."
