Our departments and programmes

Leaving Pakistan to study overseas for the first time meant my first few months at 杏吧论坛 were quite a challenge. I struggled at first, but benefited immensely from the support available in the Department. The teachers are friendly, helpful and encourage me to work hard. I go to them with 100 problems and they give me 1,000 solutions.

Welcome from the Head of Department Professor Ane Tamayo

The excellence of research and teaching in the Department of Accounting at 杏吧论坛 is globally acknowledged. The Department, known for its tradition of intellectual diversity, has long been at the forefront of research and teaching on the role of accounting in the economy and society. We are committed to creating and disseminating knowledge related to accounting through research, teaching, and various professional and policy contributions. The Department also hosts the inter-disciplinary Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation (CARR), which exemplifies this commitment.

Graduates of the Department’s programmes grasp the potential of accounting in a wide range of settings. Our graduates learn to analyse how accounting is implicated in a multifaceted range of institutional and organisational processes of calculation, reporting and evaluation. They appreciate the interdependencies between accounting and accountability, agency, transparency, sustainability, governance, organisational control, risk, performance management, policy making and change. Our academics explore an equally diverse range of issues in their research drawing on a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

Each year we admit over 400 students on our undergraduate and several graduate programmes. Each year, we also welcome various departmental speakers, academics and practitioners, in a variety of forums, in addition to the numerous and unparalleled public events and lectures hosted by the School. I welcome you, and invite you to share in the experience.
