THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ACCOUNTING (GSA)

The objective of the graduate school is to create a program to enhance the level of post graduate studies by coordinating research, teaching and tutorials carried out in different schools within the same field. Anyone who has been accepted as a post graduate student into one of KATAJAs member universities is welcome to participate in courses arranged by the GSA.

New students are accepted into GSA once a year. For students accepted the Graduate School of Accounting will offer coordinated supervision by means of thesis committees and preference to attend special courses.

The Graduate School of Accounting is run by an executive group aiming at coordinating the research in the field of accounting on a national level. The executive group is also in charge of integrating post graduate studies carried out in Finland with connected studies in Europe and the Nordic countries through EIASM and NordForsk. Nordic cooperation is also encouraged through Nordic Accounting Research Network. Assistant Professor Jaana Kettunen (Hanken School of Economics) serves as director and coordinator of the GSA, e-mail:   This email address is being protected from spambots.
