We are pleased to announce that Dennis Großmann and Sebastian Hinder from the Department of Taxation, Accounting and Finance recently took their skills to the next level by attending an intensive PhD course on Empirical Financial Accounting Research at Erasmus University Rotterdam from May 27th to May 31st, 2024. The course was taught by a powerhouse team of experts, including Christof Beuselinck (IÉSEG School of Management), Erik Peek (Rotterdam School of Management), David Veenman (University of Amsterdam), Arnt Verriest (KU Leuven), and Jacco Wielhouwer (VU University Amsterdam).
Over five days, they delved into the latest research on topics such as the relationship between accounting information and market prices, accrual accounting and earnings management, conservatism and contracting in credit markets, international accounting research, and more. By the end of the course, they gained a deeper understanding of the field and its latest developments.
