Thomas Riise Johansen (TRJ) has a PhD in accounting from CBS (2005) and before joining CBS he worked with Ernst & Young between 1996 and 2005. TRJ's research interests mainly include auditing, non-financial accounting and corporate governance. In particular, TRJ has research and practical interests in the interrelation between the auditor and corporate governance - e.g. the relationship between the board and the auditor - and he also focuses on the development, role and value of non-financial reporting. He has written both research- and practitioner-oriented literature in those areas. Current and recent research projects address (1) The impact of board networks on auditor choice, (2) Board-auditor affiliations and earnings management, (3) Public oversight arrangements in auditing, (4) The design and role of information systems in sustainability reporting and (5) Accounting and accountability to employees.
