Industry Collaborations
Our School has collaborated with businesses, as well as professional and government bodies on high profile industry research projects which have generated much industry interest and spun-off other studies focusing on the research findings submitted by our faculty.
Joint study by ISCA, EY, SMU and SAC
Sustainability is a megatrend offering new opportunities and jobs for the accountancy sector. This study found three key trends in sustainability that will expand the current job roles and skills required for accounting and finance professionals. The three key trends are: 1) decarbonisation of the environment, 2) more companies participating in sustainability reporting, and 3) the expansion of green finance. Given these sustainability trends, accounting and finance professionals must be equipped with sustainability and sustainability-related knowledge and skills to meet the increasing demands in these three areas.
