Accounting
In the area of accounting, Olin doctoral students focus on issues related to the role of financial information in facilitating the operations of capital markets and in helping managers plan and control the way their institutions operate.

"Olin is such a great community,
from which I got knowledge, encouragement, and resources I needed to help me become a scholar.
My colleagues and professors are always available for advice and support. I feel proud and thankful to have the opportunity to have studied at Olin"

Our faculty members conduct research within three general areas:
- analysis and preparation of financial statements
- auditing
- managerial accounting
Faculty research investigates a variety of issues. Some members focus on disclosure issues related to the role of financial information in capital markets, both domestic and international. Others examine the effects of legal institutions on the credibility of information produced and used in such markets and the resulting effects on economic performance. Still others work in the area of managerial accounting, doing field study and analytical research.
"This is a excellent place to be a student. Washington U is an up and coming place. The faculty wants to get research done. A good way to do this is to collaborate with Phd students. Moreover, we want to establish a reputation as a rigorous, high quality program that takes care of its students and places them at top schools. Therefore, our interests are aligned with the Phd students."
