I teach accounting in the College of Business at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My research interests are in audit markets, managerial accounting, and, more generally, in applying economic theory and statistical methods to understand accounting and auditing institutions and activity. Get more details on my research page.

Teaching: In 2006-2007 I will teach Accy 510 (Financial Reporting). Other courses I have taught in the recent past include:

• Undergraduate: Introductory and Intermediate Financial Accounting, Cost and Managerial Accounting, Decision Processes (Accy302), Accounting Institutions and Regulation (Accy 303) and Corporate Strategy.
• Graduate: Managerial Accounting in the MSA/MSBA programs at UIUC (ACCY 403) and in the MBA program (MBA 405).
