ACCOUNTING




Janne Chung


Research interests include audit markets and behavioural aspects of accounting research, specifically audit judgement.

Alan Richardson

Research interests include understanding the process of innovation in management accounting, in particular the role of informal accounting systems as incubators of innovation. Other interests are the design and evolution of accounting institutions -- the rules within which accounting is practiced including the regulation of practice rights, the professional structure of accounting, and the social norms that affect practice. A current project in this area is an exploration of institutional structures to restore trust in the profession after major audit failures.
