Finance Research Group

Overview:

The Finance Research Group is an emerging one building on the strong tradition of accounting within the School of Business. Its initial aims are to enhance both the subject group capacity and to engage in knowledge transfer, which are central to the Research and Knowledge Transfer Strategy of the School of Business (2007- 2010).

It is envisaged that the three initiatives will be undertaken in the 2008/2009 academic year which will inform teaching, help in the dissemination of research activity to both students and practitioners and help generate research funding. These activities will enhance the quality of both undergraduate and postgraduate learning; provide support for publication through seminars and conferences whilst assisting in the transfer of knowledge into the region and across national networks also.

In summary the proposed projects will serve to build critical mass and to enhance scholarship whilst acting as a foundation for the development of specialist themes across the finance discipline.
