SAF Research Centres
Centre for Accounting Ethics
Established in 1991 through a grant from the Auditing and Accounting Development Fund, the Centre supports projects designed to enhance the teaching of ethics to accounting students and the research of ethical issues in accounting. The Centre aims to help prepare future accountants and financial managers to exercise professional judgement within an ethical framework and to promote high ethical standards.
Waterloo Centre for Taxation in a Global Economy
The link between the accounting tax research community and participants in Canadian corporate tax policy is presently very weak. The Centre's main objectives are to support academic research focussed on taxation in a global economy and to disseminate that knowledge to tax professionals in corporations, governments, and the intermediaries between the two.
University of Waterloo Centre for Information Integrity and Information Systems Assurance (UWCISA)
The key objectives of the Centre are to stimulate relevant research, support the development/delivery of educational materials, communicate about important ISA issues and Centre activities and promote interaction among ISA educators and practitioners.
CPA Ontario Centre for Performance Management Research and Education (CPMRE)
The CPA Ontario Centre for Performance Management Research and Education will develop new programs bringing together industry and faculty, build strong strategic cross-disciplinary alliances, conduct conferences and symposia, and embody a strong education culture that emphasizes experiential learning.
