About
The accounting area at the Stephen J.R. Smith School of Business, Queen’s University, strives to be a global leader in research about the impact of accounting information on decisions made by management teams, as well as on decisions made by investors. Importantly, Smith accounting faculties also go beyond the numbers to show how accounting information is the product of professional practices subject to various organizational and societal influences.
Accordingly, a hallmark of the Centre research philosophy is the belief that understanding the behavior of accounting numbers is inseparable from understanding the practices of accounting professionals. This broad perspective on accounting is reflected in the celebration of an interdisciplinary approach to accounting research.
