This year‘s DART accounting workshop took place at the
University of Graz in January. CAR’s Rainer Niemann
organized the workshop, during which the DART students
Robert Eder, Sandra Hinteregger, Elisabeth Plietzsch,
Kristoffer Uhlenkamp, and Anisa Vrenozi had the opportunity
to present their latest working papers and progress reports.
The presentations covered topics such as corporate
governance, auditing, performance measurement, dividend
policies, and blockchains and gamification in accounting. The
DART students Claire Estebanez, Peter Krenn, Claudia
Langbauer, Clemens Lankisch, Sandra Mauser, and Reinhard
Schrank discussed research papers by fellow PhDs and post
docs from the University of Mannheim, Goethe University
Frankfurt, and the University of Würzburg. The discussants
and the many participants at the workshop provided lots of
valuable suggestions and comments for improving the
working papers by highlighting the paper’s strengths as well
as identifying critical points and offering solutions within the
workshop sessions and subsequent discussions.
