Research
Our research focuses on economic consequences of (accounting) regulation, corporate debt markets, accounting in private companies, standard setting process and non-financial disclosure and its regulation.
Teaching
The modules offered meet the increased importance of international accounting regulations in companies. The modules are adapted to the study progress and build on one another. In cooperation with representatives of the business community, modules in Accounting and Auditing are offered in the bachelor's and master’s degree. In addition, external partners give guest lectures in various other modules. In-depth courses in seminar form are designed to encourage students to work independently on scientific issues. By offering courses in English, we prepare students for challenges in their professional life. Moreover, we offer various opportunities to exchange students that decide to study at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics.
