The European IFRS Revolution: Compliance, Consequences and Policy Lessons
The INTACCT research network is a major collaboration between some of the leading university accounting and finance research groups in Europe. The project is funded under the European Commission’s 6th framework Marie Curie programme and will operate over the period 2007-2010. The network currently involves researchers in accounting, finance, economics, law and related areas from 10 different universities, with Lancaster University acting as the lead coordinator. The INTACCT network will aim to foster industry-academia cooperation, by establishing constructive dialogue with accounting regulators and practitioners, and the users of financial reporting information from the investment community.
The principal aims of INTACCT are:
- To contribute to overcoming fragmentation in financial accounting research across European universities.
- To deliver a comprehensive Research Training Programme to a new generation of financial accounting researchers.
- To promote a Scientific Research Programme related to the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Europe.
We invite applications from Early Stage Researchers and from Experienced Researchers interested in participating in the INTACCT Network. Please refer to the section "How to join" if you require further information on the application procedure..
