Research in accounting

Our research focuses on three main areas: financial accounting and sustainability reporting, management accounting, and educational research on how different teaching methods influence student learning in accounting courses.

Our research is carried out in close collaboration with Swedish companies and organisations, as well as national and international standard setters. This approach combines high scientific quality with clear practical and societal relevance.

Research projects

We address important and current social issues, such as the regulation of financial and sustainability reporting, the factors affecting audit quality, and the practical operation of financial management – both strategically and operationally.
