Merridee Bujaki Receives Funding for her Research on the Rideau Waterway

Associate Professor and Welch LLP Fellow in Accounting at the Telfer School of Management, Merridee Bujaki received a $27,886 Research Development Initiatives grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) for her research program on the Rideau Waterway.

While there is considerable research on the history and geography of the Rideau Waterway generally, no formalized analysis of the management, accounting, reporting, governance, and accountability practices has been undertaken. The research program entitled The Rideau Waterway: Management, Accounting, Governance and Accountability, provides an opportunity to begin a detailed study of the evolution of management practices over the life of this historic site, from 1828 to 2007.
