CENTER FOR FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING RESEARCH

The Center for Finance and Accounting Research (CFAR) is dedicated to the dissemination of cutting-edge research in finance and accounting by encouraging our faculty, students and companies to work more closely together.

• Specialized masters programs in finance (MSF) and accounting (MACC), which provide rigorous curricula and industry-specific knowledge to students through a 10- or 17-month format;
• The Corporate Finance Platform, which realigns our BSBA and MBA curricula to provide students with industry-specific knowledge and experiential learning opportunities, while also ensuring that these students receive a broad business education;
• Sponsored research, which includes both company-specific projects as well as research on broader topics, to ensure that Olin faculty remain at the forefront of research excellence; and
• Conferences and seminars, which bring together scholars from all over the world to share the latest ideas in finance and accounting.

CFAR provides practitioners access to today’s most thought-provoking research in finance and accounting. We work closely with our advisory board to guarantee our efforts stay focused on meeting the unique needs and challenges of business.

Member companies are invited to bring us their specific challenges, which are tackled by a consulting team of students and faculty members. Members also benefit from groundbreaking research and participation in a variety of finance and accounting events.
