Research

PARN’s Member Networks research gathered information from professional body members on their opinions on virtual and face to face networks – your branches, groups and social networking tools such as Facebook and LinkedIn. The survey was run with 26 participants.

In 2008, PARN undertook a study on approaches to continuing professional development measurement for the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). The report was published by IFAC and informed a PARN event in Dublin on June 17 2009.
