AIMS
The Special Interest Groups (SIGs) of AFAANZ provide a valuable service to members through the recognition and facilitation of the special interests of members. The mission of the Public Sector and Not-for-Profit (PSNFPA) is to provide services to members that enhance the interaction among those with common specialist interests to assist in the fulfilment of the mission of AFAANZ.
Members of the PSNFPA comprise experienced and well-published academics, early and mid-career academics and higher degree research students. Members include those with interests in all aspects of accounting, accountability, auditing, governance, and performance management in public and not-for-profit sectors.
The aims of the public sector and not-for-profit accounting (PSNFPA) Special Interest Group are:
To facilitate research by its members into public sector and not-for-profit accounting via peer review of research grants applications.
To provide services to members that enhance interaction among those with public sector and not-for-profit interests through face-to-face meetings, e-mails, electronic publications and other activities.
To provide research development and academic support to members through peer review of their working papers for journal submissions.
To help establish links with academics, practitioners and institutions, locally and internationally, with similar interests.
To assist the AFAANZ annual doctoral colloquium initiative by encouraging public sector and not-for-profit HDR students to attend the AFAANZ colloquium.
To do all such things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above aims.
