Academic Advisory Group

[News]

In 2019, to maximize the contribution the academic community can make to the development of high quality IPSAS, the IPSASB created its Academic Advisory Group (AAG). It is chaired by former IPSASB Chair, Andreas Bergmann, and includes IPSASB’s academic members, as well as representatives of the Comparative International Governmental Accounting Research Network and International Research Society for Public Management networks. Its overall aim is to facilitate more structured relationships between the board and the academic community.

Immediately after its creation, the AAG issued a call for papers in relation to the four topics that the IPSASB had included in the Research program as part of its 2019-23 Strategy and Work Plan. The abstracts selected to go forward by the AAG were awarded a small grant by the IPSASB to enable drafts to be developed. The final versions of the papers were made available to the IPSASB to support its discissions about the topics to prioritize in its 2021 Work Program Consultation.  

Enhancing the academic voice through this mechanism has proved to be a great success. Not only was their strong interest from the academic community, with 30 abstracts outlining research proposals received, from which four were selected, the final versions of the papers contained useful research on topics that are now being proposed for inclusion in IPSASB’s active Work Program, and so should help shape the thinking on how the projects in these areas will be developed. 

Autumn 2021 Call for Papers 

Following the success of the first call for papers, a second call is planned for Autumn 2021, with papers to be presented at the third Research Forum and then to a subsequent IPSAS meeting. Stay tuned to this space as details emerge late in the summer for 2021.
