Research at the Chair of Business Administration; in particular International Accounting
Our aim is to advance knowledge and understanding in the field of financial accounting and to contribute to both academia and the wider financial industry.
We are committed to conducting rigorous research in the following key areas:
1) Information processing in financial markets, including business valuation and financial statement analysis:
Understanding the true value of a company and its financial health is central to investment and decision-making processes. Our research will address modern valuation techniques and financial statement analysis to facilitate the development of more accurate and effective methods for investors, analysts and managers.
2) Auditing:
Auditing is the backbone of financial reporting integrity. We are dedicated to examining current issues on auditing practices and standards with the aim of providing evidence to improve audit quality and corporate governance.
3) Venture capital and private equity:
Our research aims to explore the complexities of venture capital and private equity investments. We explore innovative financing strategies, risk assessments and performance evaluations in these dynamic sectors, focusing on generating insights that can help investors and entrepreneurs make more informed decisions.
Publications in renowned national and international journals
Our goal is to contribute to the global body of knowledge through high-impact research. As part of TRR 266 Accounting for Transparency, we are committed to producing research of the highest quality, rigour and relevance and publishing it in internationally recognised academic journals to ensure the dissemination of valuable findings to the academic and practitioner communities.
As part of this role, I will guide and inspire the next generation of finance scholars and professionals by fostering an environment of curiosity and critical thinking. I aim to work with colleagues, industry experts and regulators to bridge the gap between theory and practice and ultimately shape the future of financial accounting and finance.
