Accounting involves the creation, dissemination, and use of information by organizations. Doctoral students in the Accounting program explore questions about how information is gathered, organized, reported, and used by economic agents, such as managers, investors, creditors, regulators, and governments.

- Factors that influence the accounting choices that company managers make, such as the decision to choose a specific, generally acceptable accounting method, or managerial choices to commit accounting fraud.
- The use of accounting information by capital markets. Research in this area tests whether accounting information is efficiently impounded in asset prices.
- The use of accounting in contracting between economic agents. This research area explores the use of accounting information in managerial compensation plans as well as in affecting managerial turnover.
