The Department of Accounting is one of six departments that integrate Iscte Business School, offering high scientific and professional training, at the level of different study cycles (Bachelor, Master or Doctoral), through a high standard and reputable academic staff at both national and international level. This Department offers a diversified range of curricular units, optional and compulsory, specialised in the area of Accounting, which are included in the different programmes offered by the School.
The faculty staff presently comprises twenty-nine members, most of them in a full-time basis. Among these professors, many have PhDs from prestigious European and North American universities, which provides our students with access to various sources of high-quality knowledge. In addition, there is a body of visiting professors with management positions in important companies and national institutions, as well as prestigious professionals in the areas of auditing and taxation, which has allowed a greater and better interaction between the teaching activity and the business reality, not only in the Department but also in the whole Iscte Business School environment. The authorship of numerous books should also be highlighted, many of which are reference manuals in Portugal, both at a teaching and professional level. This clearly portrays the pedagogic quality of the Department's academic staff.
Besides the notoriety of the Department at a pedagogical level, research at an international level has assumed growing importance in the activities of its faculty members. As a result, they have strongly contributed to the publication of articles in the best international journals in the area of Accounting, such as the European Accounting Review, Journal of Business Ethics, Management Accounting Research, Accounting, Organizations and Society, Abacus, Accounting and Business Research, Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal, among many others.
Additionally, Accounting Research Seminars are periodically held, in which prestigious international academics in the field have been invited to discuss their latest research work. In 2011, the 8th European Network for Research in Organizational and Accounting Change (ENROAC) Conference was organised in association with Manchester Business School (UK) and Exeter Business School (UK).
