The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has entered a partnership with the Cass Business School M&A research centre at City University, London.
Under the partnership, ICAEW will help identify and fund research projects together with the centre’s senior sponsors AXA Private Equity, Credit Suisse and Ernst & Young.
“The centre is at the cutting edge of academic research in M&A and this tie-up will be of real value to both parties” ICAEW head of corporate finance David Petrie said.
“This strategic partnership is another step in increasing our engagement with corporate finance professionals throughout their careers in business and practice.”
