We want to achieve this by:
- Creating an inspiring, effective and collaborative working environment for faculty and PhD-students;
- Establishing a well-respected position in the international research community;
- Offering relevant recommendations to practitioners and policy makers, based on thoroughly-executed empirical research;
- Building and sharing knowledge with students and develop the next generation of managers.
Our vision:
We strive to become a Centre of Excellence for academic research on contemporary accounting topics.
Our goal is to be a highly-recognized research group for academically and socially-relevant empirical research in the selected research areas.
We want to address the problems and complex challenges that the business community and public policy makers are confronted with.
Our strategy:
Our research focuses on the following broad areas:
- Management accounting
- Public sector and non-profit sector accounting
- Corporate reporting and auditing
- Accounting education
- Performance evaluation
A common characteristic of our research is that the origin of the research themes typically has a grounding in real-world practice or the institutional environment as it surrounds us and is of an empirical nature.
Our strategy is to couple practical real-world relevance with international academic aspirations by studying policy-relevant and real-world themes based on sound theoretical frameworks and advanced research methods.
