Bio

I am an Associate Professor in the department of accountancy at the Tilburg University School of Economics and Management. In addition to having a Ph.D. in Accounting, I am also a qualified auditor with extensive experience in practice (Big-4 and non-Big-4) and CFA accreditation. My research focuses on information acquisition and transmission in financial markets including how (governance) institutions shape this information acquisition and transmission.

 

Teaching

I have extensive teaching experience having taught courses in academic research (Empirical Research in Accounting, Academic Competences in Accounting), Financial Accounting (IFRS, NLGAAP, USGAAP), and Auditing (Advanced Auditing).
