Dear fellow!
I did my business studies at the Helsinki School of Economics and defended my thesis in 2013 at the Department of Accounting of the Aalto University School of Business. My dissertation topic was on corporate risk and transition disclosures in the IFRS era. After that, I worked as a visiting scholar at the University of Florida (UF), post-doc-scholar at the Aalto University, and a visiting scholar at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). Since 2020 I have been affiliated with the Turku School of Economics (University of Turku) where I work as a University Lecturer at the Department of Accounting and Finance. In addition, I continue my work as a grant scholar at the Accounting Department of the Aalto University School of Business.
My research interests are in corporate disclosures and especially in risk reporting. Currently, I am working on a project which examines firms’ climate risk disclosures. In addition, I am interested in a wide array of accounting topics such as those that relate to corporate governance, auditing and assurance, and accounting education. I am an associate editor of Accounting Education and serve on the editorial boards of two other academic journals (The International Journal of Accounting; Journal of International Accounting, Auditing and Taxation). I have completed the teacher’s pedagogical studies in university pedagogy.
My hobby is sport in its various forms. I like track & field and gym training. I used to compete in the decathlon where I did 7225 points. My best events were all jumps. In recent years, I have sometimes participated in master’s World and European Championships in throwing pentathlon and individual track & field events. Other hobbies are alpine skiing, dancing, fishing, and photography. In the future, I would like to learn juggling with four balls which seems to be much more difficult than with three balls.
My future job goals are that I would develop in many areas of teaching and research. I would like to do impactful research that benefits science and practice. I would also like to teach at various levels of education and to be able to transfer new knowledge from science to our students who are making important future decisions in our society.
Best regards,
Antti Miihkinen
