About this document
The June-July 2024 issue highlights the partnership signed with the French national council of chartered accountants to deliver a DBA in Accountancy. This new partnership adds a bridge between the worlds of practice and academia for chartered accountants, marking that profession as a pioneer in leveraging the synergy between practitioners and academics at doctoral level. The president also welcomes the publication of the thesis results of two doctors of the institute, Stephan Meyer and Stéphane Royer, and appreciates the many contributions, articles, videos and interviews of the alumni, who continue to make a positive impact on the world of business through the results of the research carried out during their DBA. In keeping with technological advances and current debates around artificial intelligence, the institute actively participated in the third IRAFPA international research colloquium on academic integrity, devoted to the challenges and uncertainties of academic integrity in the age of artificial intelligence. The issue continues with news from faculty members, alumni and doctoral students. The issue illustrates the professional anchoring of the programme, with a structuring sector partnership and constant attention paid to academic integrity. It also marks the entry of a regulated profession into the field of the professional doctorate, with the methodological questions that this raises.
