CIGAR is a network of public sector accounting researchers, with a particular focus on comparative international governmental accounting research. Established in 1987, the mission of the CIGAR Network is to promote worldwide discussion and research on comparative governmental accounting. Our main means to realize this mission are the organisation of biennial conferences, biennial workshops dedicated to more specific research themes, and a regularly appearing Newsletter. The CIGAR Network stimulates the production of individual and joint papers, preferably in an international comparative perspective, and the publication of books and journal special issues comprising selections of papers presented at our conferences and workshops.
The CIGAR PhD Scholarship was established in 2022 to recognize the work undertaken by PhD students in the field of public sector accounting. The scholarship is granted annually at the CIGAR Biennial Conference or at the CIGAR Biennial Workshop.
