Tradition and Origin
The Center for Accounting Research (CAR) builds on the long-standing tradition of specialization in accounting at the University of Graz. Former professors such as Karl Lechner, Peter Swoboda and Anton Egger established a strong reputation for accounting and finance both in academia and practice. Students graduating in business from the university were well-reputed and sought-for for their accounting skills. The establishment of CAR on December 1st, 2005 renews the emphasis of this research discipline.
CAR is closely linked to the five institutes of the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences, which research and teach in the field of accounting:
- Institute for Accounting and Auditing
- Institute for Accounting and Control
- Institute for Accounting and Taxation
- Institute for Accounting and Reporting
- Institute of Organization and Economics of Institutions
