Research

The Australian Centre for Financial Studies (ACFS) facilitates research with major corporate partners and through the academic staff and postgraduate students of consortium partner universities.

Across the three consortium partners, it has access to over 100 finance academics and in excess of 200 postgraduate students working in finance research. Through the work of the Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) and Research Reference Groups, (RRG) ACFS plays a critical role in identifying areas for investigation in industry related areas of interest. It aims to produce research outcomes which are industry related, of high quality in terms of academic outcomes and invariably have a policy implication.

Research ideas generated by the IAC and through the RRGs inform the academic research agenda and provide a source of ideas for intending postgraduate students.

ACFS also conducts and facilitates commissioned research initiated by corporate partners, looking at current issues and trends in the financial services industry.
