Research is seen as an essential role of the School. It contributes significantly to its teaching and to the development of the professions. The School aims to undertake high quality research in significant areas of interest to its staff members, with results to be published in academic and professional journals or, where appropriate, in specialised research reports.

The primary importance of research in the School led to the establishment of a Research Seminar Program as a forum for staff and visitors to present papers and discuss ideas. The Program is part of the School's commitment to scholarship in accounting, finance and related fields. Members of the School and research students attend the Research Seminars. Members of other Schools within the University, the accounting profession and those from the business and government communities are also invited to attend.

The seminar program and further information on the program is available by clicking here.

The CPA Australia (Tasmanian Division) in conjunction with the School of Accounting and Corporate Governance presents an annual Research Lecture for academics, teachers, students, accountants and the business and government community in Tasmania. The inaugural Research Lecture was held in Hobart and Launceston on 5 and 6 April 1990. The Research Lecture has been an annual event ever since.

The School has been honoured with visits by many distinguished speakers over the years. The presenters of the Annual Research Lectures are available here.
