Description

Data breaches: A study of organisational disclosures. This project aims to study data breach disclosure rules and practices in Australia. Organisations are under growing pressure to inform individuals, regulators and the public of data breaches and this project will explore how these responsibilities are conceptualised within organisations, and how they are discharged in practice. We expect to yield rich empirical insights into both the voluntary and mandatory reporting of data related breaches, the scope and form of disclosures, the organisational framing of data related accountability, and we expect to provide insights into best practice. The project will lead to refereed research publications and policy relevant research reports.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 1501 - Accounting, Auditing and Accountability. Lead: Dr Jane Andrew
