The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) invites expressions of interest to undertake literature reviews on the following topics: > the role of joint audit  > mandatory audit firm rotation. ICAS believes that policy decisions should be based on independent evidence and is commissioning these two literature reviews to serve as sound platforms for policy making and future research. The global banking crisis brought to the fore questions surrounding the scope and quality of the external audit, market concentration and auditor independence. Two of the issues currently being considered by the European Commission and European Parliament are mandatory audit firm rotation and the role of joint audit. The aim of both commissioned literature reviews is to identify, consider and evaluate the existing evidence on the topic, highlight any deficiencies in the existing literature, identify opportunities for further research and make recommendations for policy makers. The reviews should be written as short accessible documents of between 5,000 and 10,000 words. Funding of up to £5,000 is available to undertake each review, which may be payable as a fee to an individual or a university. Further details regarding these two research funding opportunities can be viewed on the ICAS website. The deadline for expressions of interest is 30 April 2012. We would be grateful if you could circulate this email to colleagues who may also be interested in either opportunity. Please contact the ICAS Research Centre if you have any queries. Apologies if you have already received this email from another source. Kind regards Michelle Crickett Director of Research ICAS
