Biography

Lisa Baudot earned her Ph.D. in Business Administration: Accounting and Auditing from ESSEC Business School (Paris, France) and her MBA from The George Washington University (Washington, D.C., USA). Before joining HEC Paris, Lisa was an Associate Professor of Accounting at the University of Central Florida (Orlando, Florida, USA) where she taught financial auditing and operational auditing at various levels. Prior to her academic life, Lisa spent over 10 years in external audit at a global public accounting firm and in internal audit and financial controlling at two multinational corporations. She has certifications in public accounting and internal auditing. At HEC, Lisa teaches management and cost accounting in the Grande Ecole as well as assurance, professional ethics, and sustainability reporting related courses in the Masters and MBA programs.

 

Lisa's research interests lie broadly in two areas. She studies the politics of (de) regulating and assuring financial and non-financial reporting in the public and private sector. She also studies the day-to-day practices and work experiences of professionals and the meaning they ascribe to their work. Currently, Lisa's work in these areas focuses on contemporary debates on corporate responsibility, digitalization and AI, and purposeful work. Her research is published or forthcoming in Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, Accounting, Organizations and Society, Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory, Contemporary Accounting Research, Comptabilité, Contrôle, Audit, Critical Perspectives on Accounting, Journal of Accounting & Public Policy, Journal of Business Ethics, and The Accounting Review. She has received several best paper awards from the American Accounting Association (AAA). Lisa holds Editorial Board positions at Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory, Critical Perspectives on Accounting, European Accounting Review, and The Accounting Review. She is a former Associate Editor at Accounting in the Public Interest and is currently an Associate Editor at Accounting Horizons. Lisa held leadership positions in the Public Interest Section of the AAA, currently serves as International Council Member for the AAA, and is a member of the Auditing, Assurance, and Ethics Standards Committee of the European Accounting Association.
