Welcome
Events
of the last several years have taught everyone how important
accounting is to the proper functioning of capital markets,
as well as to the proper governance of corporations. Business
leaders with a solid understanding of accounting are more effective
as analysts, investors, creditors, senior managers, in short,
all areas concerned with judging a firm's performance.
The Kellogg School's accounting
courses improve students' understanding of the mapping
between a firm's underlying economic performance and its accounting
reports of that performance. The mission of the Accounting
Information &
Management faculty is to prepare managers to
be sophisticated interpreters of internal and external accounting
reports, as well as excellent communicators of financial information
about their own firms' performance.
Our faculty
members are at the leading edge of accounting research and
accounting practice. Accounting faculty members at the Kellogg
School are on the editorial boards of the leading accounting
research journals, have occupied prominent advisory positions
for the major accounting standard-setting boards, and are
actively involved in advising companies about the latest accounting
developments. They bring a high level of knowledge and enthusiasm
about accounting to the Kellogg educational experience.
