"This will ensure business education and research supports national agendas." ABDC <strong>RESEARCH</strong> SCHOLAR Professor Stephen Taylor Professor Stephen Taylor is the Australian Business Deans Council’s (ABDC) inaugural Research Scholar – a role that has the goal of expanding collaboration between universities and industry. As Research Scholar, Professor Taylor is helping to develop and implement an ABDC research engagement strategy that highlights the role business schools can play in Australia's long-term competitiveness and productivity through their research and education. He is also looking at ways to enhance industry linkages so business schools produce globally competitive researchers with industry-relevant skills. "We want to ensure the strong engagement between the needs of business and government and the business school research community continues and grows," Professor Taylor says. “A continued and strengthened collaboration between universities, professional bodies, stakeholders, industry and government will ensure business education and research in Australia supports national agendas and focus.” Professor Taylor's appointment as Research Scholar is until July 2017. His own research is at the intersection of financial economics and accounting. He led a recent study into listed companies’ reporting behaviour which found that more than 40 per cent of ASX top 500 companies were using non-standard financial measures such as underlying profit when they discussed their earnings – a trend that raises questions for investors, standard setters and regulators. Professor Taylor is a Chartered Accountant and CPA Fellow, and has played key roles in organisations such as the Securities Industry Research Centre of Asia-Pacific (SIRCA), which supports member universities with global data and advanced tools for research, the Capital Markets Cooperative Research Centre (CMCRC), the Centre for International Finance and Regulation (CIFR) and the Financial Integrity Research Network (FIRN). uts.edu.au/staff/stephen.taylor 10
