Ethnic discrimination in the private rental housing market. Paired testing protocols, as used in North American and Europe, will be used for the first time in Australia to test for ethnic discrimination in the allocation of private rental housing. This will fill a significant gap in current knowledge, and provide an evidence for policy action and remedies.

Summary
Ageing, home and housing security among single, asset-poor older women. This project aims to investigate the stability of single older women's senses of home, security and belonging as they negotiate asset and income insecurity. It examines: how national and housing-provider scale housing policy and governance frameworks shape the ways that older women experience and make decisions about the home; and how the home is affected by housing mobility. Using a housing pathways approach, the project ai ....Ageing, home and housing security among single, asset-poor older women. This project aims to investigate the stability of single older women's senses of home, security and belonging as they negotiate asset and income insecurity. It examines: how national and housing-provider scale housing policy and governance frameworks shape the ways that older women experience and make decisions about the home; and how the home is affected by housing mobility. Using a housing pathways approach, the project aims to develop knowledge of how housing markets and supply affect, and are shaped by, homemaking cultures and practices. The project aims to address a research gap about the ways in which asset-poor older Australians maintain stable housing pathways and senses of home, security and belonging as they age.Read moreRead less
Securing Knowledge Processes in Organisations. This project will develop a methodology for identifying and comparing security risks associated with knowledge-intensive processes in organizations.

This project will develop a methodology for identifying and comparing security risks associated with knowledge-intensive processes in organizations. The project addresses a significant area that has historically fallen between two research domains: organisational knowledge processes and systems, and critical information infrastructure protection. The project will establish a unified framework to balance the sharing and protection of information and organizational knowledge. Outcomes include a framework for modelling knowledge-intensive processes to assess their security vulnerability, an associated methodology of creating security risk profiles of knowledge intensive processes and the validation of the methodology in 3 to 6 organizations.Read moreRead less

Improved managerial judgements can facilitate more efficient/effective resource allocation within organizations, significantly increasing Australian companies' competitiveness. Our project therefore benefits a range of stakeholder groups such as shareholders and employees. Also, by drawing on theories from different disciplines (accounting, social psychology), this project increases our understanding of how accounting information can encourage managers to behave in a socially desirable manner, such as adopting a conciliatory approach during negotiation. Other benefits include the training of future researchers and raising Australia's profile in accounting research.Read moreRead less

Improving the 21st century audit. Financial reports are a key part of an efficient capital market and a central role of auditing is to add creditability to the financial reports. The corporate failures in the recent years have shaken investor confidence. The regulators and the auditing profession have an important role to play in bringing back that trust. The auditing profession needs to continue to evolve to deliver at the high standards expected of them especially in regard to auditors' abilit ....Improving the 21st century audit. Financial reports are a key part of an efficient capital market and a central role of auditing is to add creditability to the financial reports. The corporate failures in the recent years have shaken investor confidence. The regulators and the auditing profession have an important role to play in bringing back that trust. The auditing profession needs to continue to evolve to deliver at the high standards expected of them especially in regard to auditors' ability to uncover material fraud at a reasonable cost. This research will study techniques that will help auditors in meeting the challenges faced by them in detecting fraudulent financial statements and thus improve the audit quality.Read moreRead less
Improving Auditor Negotiations. Given the uncertainty in many accounting judgments it is widely recognised that auditor/client negotiations are pervasive in the auditing environment. This project empirically tests two interventions aimed at improving the outcomes of the negotiation process. The aim is to develop an understanding of when these interventions are effective and what causes the improvements. Given the increased globalisation of business, the study further examines how cultural factor ....Improving Auditor Negotiations.

This project empirically tests two interventions aimed at improving the outcomes of the negotiation process. The aim is to develop an understanding of when these interventions are effective and what causes the improvements. Given the increased globalisation of business, the study further examines how cultural factors impact negotiation outcomes and processes in both intercultural negotiations and intracultural negotiations.Read moreRead less
