EAA Junior Network Lounge

The pandemic has considerably limited our ability to meet with peers and discuss our research interests and projects. We all miss the opportunity to meet new colleagues during breaks at conferences, discuss our papers and build a network of reference that helps the development of our research.

Open Letter from the Editors of Critical Perspectives on Accounting

As some of you already know, the management at Leicester University is attempting to outlaw critical scholarship, and colleagues who have published in Critical Perspectives on Accounting (CPA) are now at risk of redundancy. In response, the editors of CPA have written an open letter to management. This is a serious assault on academic freedom and as a community we need to voice our concerns very loudly.

Probabilistic Audits and Misreporting – the Influence of Audit Process Design on Employee Behavior

In a recent study, forthcoming in the European Accounting Review (EAR), Corinna Ewelt-Knauer, Anja Schwering and Sandra Winkelmann illuminate how the design of probabilistic audits influences employee behavior, specifically performance misreporting. The experimental study builds on behavioral accounting research, which shows that audits do not only help to detect and prevent undesired employee behavior like misreporting. Instead, audits can change employees’ perception of the situation – from an ethical decision frame to an economic decision…
