Research and Teaching at the Institute of Accounting, Auditing and Analysis

Accounting and auditing encompasses the collection, processing and provision of information from economically active organisations and markets. Information is deemed relevant if it provides insights into both the economic status quo and future expectations, as well as the social responsibility that the organisation assumes through its daily actions and business activities.
