Brouard has an extremely robust and diverse research program that, interestingly as an accounting professor and taxation expert, has Brouard researching well-beyond the accounting world. His research taps into an eclectic mix of topics including research in the governance of charities and nonprofits; strategic intelligence of small to mid-size enterprises; the recruitment and life trajectories of accountants—to the business of comedy!
Brouard has been actively involved in, not only his research projects and course development, but as well, Brouard established, and currently directs, the first ever Sprott Centre for Social Enterprises (SCSE)/Centre Sprott pour les Entreprises Sociales (CSES), a research center created to bring together faculty and graduate students interested in research on social issues. Further to this, Brouard co-created, with the financial support of Certified Professional Accountant (CPA) Ontario, the Sprott Professional Accounting Research Group (PARG). This unique forum is a way of information sharing between the accounting industry and accounting research happening at Sprott.
Much of Brouard’s research circles around small organizations in order to enhance their capabilities.
Brouard’s research program further explores the “business of comedy.” Specifically, Brouard is taking a unique perspective on the comedy industry in Quebec. His research aims to elucidate successful business strategies for comedians.
