The Corporate Governance Research Centre

Overview:

In March 2010 the CMCRC obtained $1 million of funding from the Federal Government and the ASX to form an independent research centre to carry out research to assist in the development and understanding of corporate governance in Australia. The centre will undertake research in two main areas:
1. Continuous disclosure and reporting integrity.
2. Measuring and assessing the relationship between corporate governance, institutional investor decision making and investment performance.

The centre's objectives:
The centre will undertake research to generate a high quality knowledge base of corporate governance for the benefit of Australian capital markets and the broader Australian economy. The primary output of the centre will be original, leading-edge research which will be published in the normal scholarly media.
The aim of the centre is to bring some science to this area and establish itself as the benchmark for Australian standards in corporate governance.

Resources:

Six PhD student scholarships are funded for research into this area over the next three years. The PhD student researchers are led and supervised in their research by a supervisory team consisting of Professors Tyrone Carlin, Alex Frino, Fariborz Moshirian and Associate professor Jerry Parwada.
The new centre is run under the auspices of the CMCRC and thus has the advantage of access to the CMCRC's infrastructure and computing power.
