Talk the talk

Frank O’Brien, incoming president of accountancy body ACCA Ireland, talks to David Clerkin.

Tell me about the “Introduction to Investment” series of booklets you’ve written, please. What do the booklets aim to achieve?

The series, which was commissioned by the Irish Association of Pension Funds, was designed to give readers a coherent overview of investment. The handbooks take the reader from the basics of investment, through pension funds and onto the philosophies and processes of investment managers.
