Qualitative Empirical Accounting Research

Using published work in the areas of financial accounting, auditing and management accounting, we will discuss (1) the main rationales for choosing a qualitative research approach; (2) differences between different qualitative research designs, such as single case studies or cross-sectional studies; (3) guidelines for applying qualitative research methods such as interviews and observation; (4) the role of theory in qualitative work; (5) the process of doing qualitative research, from the start of a project to its publication; (6) quality criteria that editors and reviewers apply when evaluating qualitative work. In addition, participating students who carry out qualitative PhD projects will have the opportunity to present their work/ideas and get feedback from fellow students and the lecturers. 

The course covers the following topics:

• General introduction to qualitative research 
• Overview of strands of qualitative research in financial accounting, auditing and management accounting
• Role of theory in qualitative accounting research
• Research methods (interviews, observations, document analysis)
• Writing of qualitative research papers
