Research Publications

SIRCA's mission is to promote thought leadership and innovation in financial services and related activities through research excellence and independence.

SIRCA seeks to encourage inquiry and debate and is proud to disseminate works of quality and excellence.

"...research and experimental development is characterised by originality; it should have investigation as a primary objective and should have the potential to produce results that are sufficiently general for humanity's stock of knowledge (theoretical and/or practical) to be recognisably increased."
Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST), Commonwealth Government of Australia (Dec 2002)
