ICAS Research funding opportunities

Two of the calls form part of our Shaping the Profession programme, which seeks to define what the accountancy profession of tomorrow should look like to support the changing needs of society and continue delivering in the public interest:

• Profession and professionalism in the 21st century, which seeks to examine the value of modern professionals and explore what a 21st century profession should look like;
• The impact of technological advancements on professional judgement: To understand the risks and the opportunities, as well as the potential upskilling required to harness the capabilities of current and future technology tools on the core - traditionally human - skill of professional judgement.

And, as it is clear that sustainability is moving higher up the C-suite agenda, the third call originates from the Sustainability Committee, looking to examine the process and identify best practice in the area of sustainability governance.

Applications are welcome from individuals, businesses (such as research agencies), think-tanks and academic institutions.
