Research Centre

ICAS is committed to supporting and encouraging high quality research that is timely, relevant and useful to the accountancy profession in an international or UK perspective.

Research is funded by the Scottish Accountancy Trust for Education and Research (SATER), which focuses on research that is relevant to the public interest and the accountancy profession or business. To this end, research proposals are invited on issues of broad relevance to the accountancy profession, both within and outside public practice.

Funding applications for research proposals are particularly encouraged within the themes identified in the Research Strategy Brochure, however, consideration will also be given to any topic outside of these themes provided the research is relevant to the public interest and the accounting profession or business.
