Accounting Research Project Spotlight

Reforming Ireland’s public sector accounting

Based upon research undertaken by Professor Ciaran Connolly and Dr Elaine Stewart, Chartered Accountants Ireland’s position paper, 'The Reform of Ireland's Public Sector Accounting', examines key changes involved in the Irish Government’s planned public sector accounting reforms.

Drawing on the views of representatives from government departments, agencies, and advisory organisations and individuals, the position paper recognises the ambition of the planned reforms. Appropriate and timely, they are a significant statement of intent by the Irish Government to modernise its public sector accounting practices.

Read The Reform of Ireland's Public Sector Accounting.


Social impact reporting at credit unions

Professor Martin Quinn, together with colleagues at University College Cork and the University of Groningen, is currently researching efforts by Irish credit unions to engage in social impact reporting. The credit union sector on the island of Ireland has approximately €19.5 billion in net assets and is a vital source of community finance. Given their co-operative nature and founding principles, credit unions are in a strong position to deliver financial services in a more socially aware manner. Yet presently, performance metrics of credit unions are highly financial, being driven mainly by regulatory requirements.


Shaping the regulation of charity accounting and reporting

The accounting, reporting, governance and regulation in the UK and Republic of Ireland's charity sectors was reframed by research conducted by Professor Ciaran Connolly and Professor Emeritus Noel Hyndman. This included contributions towards developing current and future Statements of Recommended Practice (SORP) and producing Northern Ireland’s legal reporting requirements.
