Current Issues in Accounting and Corporate Governance - ACCG727
This unit focuses on special topics in financial accounting and corporate governance. Topics range from sustainability reporting, integrated reporting to intellectual capital and models of corporate governance, and focus on the importance of global harmonisation and convergence of accounting and corporate governance. Topics chosen encourage students to explore current issues and problems in complex contexts using social, ethical, economic, political and global perspectives, and to develop skills in analysis and investigation that are necessary and that are required to undertake more advanced research. A solid understanding of how to analyse relevant scholarly research papers, to critically evaluate accounting theories, governance policies and procedures, and to understand the implications of research findings is a requirement for any advanced study of accounting theory. This unit provides students with essential research experiences that develop the concepts and skills necessary for advanced research in accounting and corporate governance.
