Fan Wu (吴凡)

Welcome

I am an Assistant Professor at the CUHK School of Accountancy. I obtained my PhD in Accounting from the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.

My research interests lie at the intersection of accounting and interdisciplinary topics such as corporate innovation, operational decisions, corporate governance, and management control systems.
