Overview

The research orientation of the accounting group at the ANU is broadly based and accepting of interdisciplinary work. Research generally has an empirical or behavioural slant although the group welcomes research contributions from more theoretical perspectives.

Main research agendas:

  • Corporate Governance - see http://corpgov.fec.anu.edu.au
  • Financial Accounting - asset valuation, taxation and segment reporting.
  • Environmental Accounting - sustainability accounting, triple bottom line, web disclosure, and environmental accounting in Asia.
  • Accounting History - colonial entrepeneurs, women in commercial commerce.
  • Management Accounting - budgeting and cost analysis, strategic management accounting, project management and compensation schemes.
  • Auditing - audit fee models, auditor independence, and audit judgement.  See http://ancaar.fec.anu.edu.au
  • Capital Markets - insider trading, accounting disclosures, and stock market reactions to accounting numbers.

These agendas are not limiting but help define the major emphasis of research undertaken by the group. Staff and graduate students cross over these areas and the group is responsive to the evolution of the discipline. Research students are encouraged to consider pursuing a thesis along these lines.
