September 14, 2012: ICAS Research Funding Opportunity: SME funding
It has been suggested that the global credit crisis has meant that small and medium sized enterprises’ (SMEs) access to finance has been significantly curtailed; this, in turn, may limit the potential for growth, employment and the business birth rate in the UK. ICAS is interested in sponsoring research which considers how barriers to SME finance can be reduced. Research proposals are invited to consider relevant issues around SME funding and growth.

August 10, 2012: CIMA's Research Initiative Call for Proposals
This year, CIMA is therefore looking to fund innovative research that challenges and offers fresh perspectives on a range of topics that are of interest to CIMA members. The research findings should be of value to both businesses and academic communities globally, and any case studies may be drawn from both the commercial and not-for-profit sectors.August 8, 2012: ACCA-IMA Research Foundation: Special Joint Call for Research Proposals
The IMA (Institute of Management Accountants) Research Foundation and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) invite the academic and practitioner communities to participate in a joint call for research proposals. Up to US$100,000 will be awarded for research projects pertaining to the areas specified below. It is anticipated that four to five projects will be funded. The deadline for the submission of proposals is January 31, 2013. Earlier expressions of interest are encouraged.August 2, 2012: ICAS Research Funding Opportunity - Tax Implications
As Scotland debates whether it should remain within the UK or seek independence, there is a need for further evidence in relation to the implications for how an independent or more devolved Scotland would legislate to tax its citizens. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS), in its capacity as an apolitical professional body, seeks research projects which will consider the practical implications for Scotland under two scenarios, an independent tax regime under independence or more tax raising powers under devolution.
The project should draw upon how other ‘new’ countries have created new tax systems or modified existing ones and the insights, processes and learning points from federal systems. The final report should be written as a short accessible document of between 5,000 and 10,000 words and should identify the issues which the Scottish Government and public should consider and the practical implications of enhanced tax devolution. ICAS will use the report to inform public debate and the project will therefore be high profile.
Funding in the region of £10,000 is available to undertake the research, which may be payable as a fee to an individual or a university. The project may be a literature review or may be supplemented by additional empirical work. If empirical work is undertaken, additional funding may be available. Applications are welcomed from researchers and institutions anywhere in the world. The deadline for expressions of interest is 14 September 2012

May 14, 2012: Revisions to IAAER Constitution
The IAAER Executive Committee has
approved sending some proposed revisions to the IAAER constitution
to the membership for approval. The proposed revisions will be
discussed and voted on at the General Membership meeting on June 20,
2012, in Amsterdam. As required by the constitution, the
proposed changes are being presented to the membership at least 30
days before the scheduled vote.
A clean copy of the revised constitution
follows this message. A copy with the changes highlighted is
can be found by clicking on the link about or
here.
Some of the changes are simply editorial.
The more substantive ones are the following:
1. Update the types of membership
to better reflect the current situation by adding university and
student members.
2. Add a Council. This is a way for the Academic
Institutional members to
be more active and have more of a voice.
3. Move responsibility for membership completely from the
VP-Administration to the VP-Membership.
4. Combine the VP-Administration and VP-Finance positions.
There is much overlap between these two positions, especially with
the constraints on where the IAAER bank account can be located.
5. Add the Director of Research and Educational Programs to
the Executive Committee and make it possible to pay this person
directly. The current DREA is not paid directly, but this
flexibility may be needed in the future.
6. Change the nominating committee to include 2 members of
Council rather than 2 at-large VPs.
7. Explicitly recognize the possibility of an editor of COSMOS
separate from the VP-Communications.
8. Recognize disposal of assets if IAAER were to dissolve.
9. Recognize the incorporation of IAAER in Illinois, USA.

January 17, 2012: CIMA Research Initiative: Leadership
CIMA’s intention is therefore to study leadership in the context of the management accountant and their careers and how they interact with the organization to make change happen. More broadly, CIMA’s intention is also to identify common characteristics across management accountants who do and don’t reach senior levels of management and to identify the prerequisites to reaching those influential positions, as well as the barriers. Most people will not get to CEO level, but nonetheless have the opportunity to lead effectively within their organizations.

Competent and Versatile: How Professional Accountants in
Business Drive Sustainable Success
Professional accountants in business play key roles in
organizations—roles that often go far beyond the stereotypical
perceptions of accountants. It may not be readily apparent to all
employers and business owners, but they can capitalize on
professional accountants’ training, knowledge, and skill sets to
help guide their organizations toward long-term sustainable success.

Reporting Business
Risks: Meeting Expectations
Reporting Business Risks: Meeting Expectations forms part of the
Information for Better Markets
thought leadership programme of ICAEW’s Financial Reporting Faculty.
Requirements for businesses to report their risks have now been in
place in a number of countries
for some years, and there seems to be a common view that their
results have been disappointing.
There is widespread agreement that businesses should report better
information about the
risks they face, and this determination has been reinforced by the
wish to avoid another global
financial crisis.
But before fresh requirements are introduced, we need to understand
why good risk reporting
has proved to be so difficult in practice and why risk reporting may
prove to be less useful to
investors and other users of corporate reporting than has generally
been assumed.
In this report we look at the problems and limitations of risk
reporting, but also suggest how
it could be improved.

The IFAC Professional Accountants in Business Committee, new
publication,
Competent and Versatile: How Professional Accountants in Business

To see the news release click
here
The publication is primarily designed to support IFAC and its
members (professional accountancy organizations) to promote the
value of professional accountants in business to their organizations
and more widely—an important mission deliverable for IFAC. In the
publication, we have highlighted key areas of competency development
for professional accountants aligned to the needs of organizations
that employ them. We hope it will be a useful resource to aid the
development of qualification, training, and continuing professional
development programs to support the changing needs of professional
accountants in business.
This publication is hopefully perceived as an important contribution
to improving common understanding, within the accountancy profession
and beyond, of the work by our colleagues who work in business and
the public sector. To help communicate the scope of the roles and
activities of professional accountants to non-accountants, and
particularly to employers, we have also developed a
shorter, brochure-length companion piece.
