Accounting & Sustainability Reporting

The Department of Accounting and Sustainability Reporting (AccSus) studies how transparency matters for firms’ internal decisions, their relations to external stakeholders, and their role in society. Striving to conduct internationally visible research that is relevant to (corporate) decision-makers and regulators, we address questions in management accounting, financial accounting, as well as sustainability reporting.

To that end, we employ a diverse portfolio of economics-based methods, spanning economic modeling, archival approaches, experiments, and surveys. In our teaching, we promote financial literacy and foster students’ critical thinking about how to interpret and use information for decision making. Students benefit from our network of partners from consulting, auditing, and other industries. Via regular outreach events, we make sure to keep up with recent trends in accounting practice and transfer our research insights to corporate decision-makers. You can also follow us on LinkedIn to keep up with current topics about our department.
