Business Administration, esp. Accounting, Auditing & Corporate Governance

The Professorship of Business Administration, esp. Accounting, Auditing & Corporate Governance directed by Prof. Dr. Patrick Velte focusses its research and teaching activities on corporate reporting, auditing as well as corporate management and monitoring from a sustainability-oriented perspective (environmental, social & governance). In the inter- and transdisciplinary management orientation of the professorship, there is a close interlocking between research, teaching and transfer in the aforementioned disciplines to link business administration and sustainability science. The professorship has incorporated the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 4 (Quality Education), Goal 5 (Gender Equality) and Goal 13 (Climate Action), into its research and teaching concept.

A particular focus is on the preparation, monitoring and auditing of sustainability reports by listed companies on the European capital market. The research results have been published in the Journal of Accounting Literature, Journal of International Accounting, Auditing and Taxation, Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management, European Management Journal, Business Strategy and the Environment, Review of Managerial Science and Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, among others.
