I am currently employed as a Post Doc in relation to a large project with several colleagues from the department involved. The objective of the project is to understand management reporting practices of owner-managed firms, and if such practices contribute to firm performance.

My core research interests are within financial reporting in private firms. Within this field I have aimed to answer questions such as: How do firms use financial reporting discretion during financial distress? What are the determinants and consequences of owner-managers’ use of earnings management? Do employee characteristics provide information about firms’ use of earnings management?  Additionally, I am currently working on a project regarding criminal employees, firms’ bankruptcy likelihood, and if lenders price such a risk factor.
