2024 Portfolio
Topic: Accounting for private entities and non-investor stakeholders (18h/3 ECTS credits)
Dates: June 11 - 13, 2024
Instructor: Professor Anna Costello, University of Chicago, USA
Dr Anna Costello is Professor of Accounting. Before joining Booth, she previously served as an Assistant Professor of Accounting at University of Michigan Ross School of Business and MIT Sloan School of Management. She received her Bachelors and Masters of Business Administration from the University of Notre Dame and a PhD in Business Administration from the University of Chicago. Prior to earning her graduate degrees, Anna worked as a senior auditor for Deloitte. Costello's research investigates the role of information sharing between supply chain partners. Specifically, her work shows that information asymmetry between buyers and suppliers impacts the terms and restrictions in long-term supply contracts. She also studies how trade credit between supply chain partners influences firm-specific and market-wide risk. Her research has been published in the Journal of Political Economy, the Journal of Financial Economics, the Journal of Accounting Research, the Journal of Accounting and Economics, and The Accounting Review.

Course description
The goal of this course is to provide an overview of accounting research in the area of unregulated entities and transactions. Specifically, I will cover accounting choices and consequences by privately held firms. The second part of the week will cover the usefulness of accounting information for stakeholders of the firm that are not equity investors or lenders (non-investor stakeholders), with a focus on suppliers and customers as well as employees. The focus of the course will be to expose students to the existing literature in each of these areas, but we will also discuss the challenges of exploring unregulated transactions and entities, notably accessing data and settings. The course will also contrast the findings in the private-firm space to much larger body of work that uses public firms and investor transactions as a setting. Lastly, we will also discuss the appropriateness of different research designs and statistical methods in this space.
