Programme Structure

Research within the Finance and Accounting programme is organised into four specialist themes:

  • Asset pricing: Concerned with three areas – asset management, asset pricing and market microstructure – this theme examines optimal portfolio allocation by investors, studies the price formation process in financial markets, and investigates the trading mechanism of securities.
  • Behavioural management accounting: Focusing on the use of accounting information in decision-making processes, research in this theme applies theories from psychology and behavioural economics
  • Corporate finance: Dealing with two integrated themes – corporate finance and corporate governance – this theme explores key issues directly linked to the successful financial management of organisations.  
  • Financial accounting: The focus here is on the use, impact and value of the financial information provided by organisations, and whether the data firms provide is sufficient
