XI. Summer School by John Christensen: “Accounting Theory”

At the beginning of June, several DART students took the opportunity to participate in the Summer School on Accounting Theory in Munich. During insightful and entertaining sessions, Prof. John Christensen (University of Southern Denmark) illustrated his approach to the theory of accounting. The main topics discussed included income determination, accounting information, and accounting regulation. Furthermore, Prof. Christensen aimed to facilitate our critical thinking about issues in accounting theory and encouraged us to take risks when doing research. Besides the inspiring content of the seminar, the perfect organization by Prof. Christian Hofmann’s team created a great atmosphere for discussing and sharing research ideas with other students and faculty.
