Describe your research in about 200 words.

My research interests are in the areas of financial reporting and corporate disclosure.

What’s the most interesting thing you have learned from a student?

I have had some inquisitive students over my years of teaching. Many “why” questions (e.g., why we account for a transaction a certain way; why the accounting standard was written the way it was) have led to interesting conversations and new insights into the standard setting process.
