Advancing thinking and debate
Through a programme of academic research funding from the ICAEW’s charitable trusts, we aim to fund the highest quality accounting and finance academic research and events.
In turn we aim to bring that research to the attention of key people including practitioners, regulators, standard-setters, businesses, investors and opinion-formers.
In 2012 three new projects have been awarded funding from ICAEW’s charitable trusts.
