To facilitate more structured relationships between the board and the academic community, and to maximize the contribution the community can make to the development of high quality IPSAS, in 2019 the IPSASB created its Academic Advisory Group (AAG). It is chaired by former IPSASB Chair, Andreas Bergmann, and includes IPSASB’s academic members, as well as representatives of the Comparative International Governmental Accounting Research (CIGAR) Network and International Research Society for Public Management (IRSPM).
Building on the success of IPSASB's first Research Forum in September 2019, the AAG issued a call for papers in relation to the four topics that the IPSASB had included in the Research program as part of its 2019-23 Strategy and Work Plan. The abstracts selected to go forward by the AAG were awarded a small grant by the IPSASB to enable drafts to be developed. The final versions of the papers were made available to the IPSASB to support its discissions about the topics to prioritize in its 2021 Work Program Consultation.
2022 Update
In preparation of the 3rd Research Forum, which will be co-hosted by CIGAR at its September 22-23, 2022 conference, the IPSASB is offered a grant of USD $1,500 for selected scholarly papers submitted on select topics (up to six grants were available in total).
There was strong interest from the academic community, with over 30 abstracts outlining research proposals received, from which four were selected. The Draft versions of the papers has been reviewed by the AAG. AAG comments have been provided to the authors of the papers and final versions are being developed. These papers will be finalized and will be presented at the 3rd Research Forum, in partnership with the CIGAR Network.
