Call for research proposals to stimulate fresh insight into issues at the heart of the development of <IR>
Researchers are invited to submit proposals addressing three areas of Integrated Reporting that will be developed further, following the release of the International <IR> Framework.
Michael Nugent, Technical Director- Framework Development, IIRC, said, “Integrated Reporting is market-led; it will evolve in line with business and users’ needs. The iirc is delighted that this call for research will help the IIRC to continue to develop its understanding of what those needs are and the role of <IR>.”
IIRC Pilot Programme Businesses showcase their journeys towards <IR> Integrated Reporting has moved from a concept to a powerful tool for businesses. The IIRC has developed new webpages detailing what Pilot Programme Business Network participants are doing to move towards <IR>, and how they have benefited from embarking on this journey through the Pilot Programme.

Integrated Reporting will be introduced into an accountancy qualification from December 2014. The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) have announced that for the first time in the accountancy profession students will be examined on Integrated Reporting.
