An expert in corporate governance, Professor Brennan was recognised for her work by the well-known peer review journal in July 2019. Prof. Brennan is the first academic based in Ireland to be welcomed into the body’s Hall of Fame named at the 2019 Asia-Pacific Interdisciplinary Research in Accounting (APIRA) conference. In recognition of her substantial contribution to UK academic accounting and finance life, Professor Brennan received the 2018 British Accounting & Finance Association Distinguished Academic Award. This is the first time that the honour has been awarded to an academic from outside the UK in its 25 year history.
