Craig Buck Andrews PhD Scholarship in Financial Reporting & Financial Management

The Craig Buck Andrews PhD Scholarship in Financial Reporting and Financial Management is an endowed scholarship established by the late Craig Andrews of Washington DC, through the Victoria University of Wellington Foundation. Through the course of his career Mr Andrews worked on World Bank projects in a number of developing countries with academics from Victoria University of Wellington. Based on this experience he wished to support research at Victoria University of Wellington to build capacity for sound financial reporting and financial management in developing countries and thus promote the economic and social development of those countries. The scholarship is awarded to a student in the School of Accounting and Commercial Law at Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington to complete a PhD thesis on the topics of financial reporting and/or financial management in developing countries. The thesis should contribute to capacity building for financial reporting and financial management in primary industries or concessionable industries. Preference may be given to students from developing countries coming to study for a PhD at Victoria University of Wellington and who intend to return to their home country.
