Doctoral Program:  Faculty

The faculty of the Department of Accounting have academic qualifications of the highest caliber, while maintaining close links with the accounting profession. All tenure-track accounting faculty are Ph.D.s, and many hold the CPA certificate. Members of the faculty have served in positions of leadership in the American Accounting Association (AAA), and have served as editor or on the editorial boards of the leading academic journals in accounting. Faculty members have also held offices and served on important committees of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants (TSCPA), the Financial Accounting Foundation (which selects members of, funds, and oversees the Financial Accounting Standards Board), the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, the American Taxation Association, and several other national, state, and local professional organizations.

In addition to a tradition of teaching excellence, UT-Austin accounting faculty are highly successful researchers, across a variety of interests in accounting scholarship. One can gain a flavor for the diversity of research interests and expertise of the UT-Austin accounting faculty by reviewing a list of their publications in academic and professional accounting journals. This list also evidences the faculty's interest in conducting joint research with both current Ph.D. students and graduates of the program.
