Committee for Departments of Accounting and Finance (CDAF)

The Committee for Departments of Accounting and Finance (CDAF) was established in 1992 when the former polytechnics became universities, taking over from the Committee of Heads of Accounting in Polytechnics (CHAPS).

It is a formal committee of the BAA and is a representative body made up of the nominated Head of Department or equivalent person from each University offering degree programmes in the field of Accounting and Finance.

CDAF exists as a representative body concerned with matters of national importance in the management of University departments of Accounting and Finance. It focuses upon issues of curriculum, quality assurance, academic management, professional body links and staff development. It provides a forum for debating these issues, for sharing examples of good practice, for networking with colleagues who have similar management responsibilities, and benchmarking academic performance indicators in the subject. It also represents the views of senior academics in Accounting and Finance on relevant matters of national importance.
