The 77th CPA Australia-University of Melbourne Annual Research Lecture

Leading Indicators of Organizational Outcomes

Professor Shane Dikolli will  deliver the 77th CPA Australia - University of Melbourne Annual Research Lecture.

Shane will explore how recent innovations in accounting research such as executive compensation, audit fees, and corporate culture, have yielded several data sources and methods for generating leading indicators of organizational outcomes. In particular, Shane will discuss leading indicator implications of data sources such as social media preferences; the mandatory expanded disclosure of executive compensation details; the voice recording, written language and speaking style of executives; and the variation in the level of an organization’s audit fees not explained by observable economic factors.
