Biography

Dr. Domenico Campa was Assistant Professor of Accounting at the School of Business of Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. He earned his Ph.D. in Accounting at the University College Cork, Ireland after his studies in Bocconi University and a job experience as auditor in PricewaterhouseCoopers in Milan, Italy. He also served the board of the European Accounting Association (EAA) from 2013 to 2016. Domenico’s research interests pertain to the areas of accounting, auditing and corporate governance, with a particular focus on the areas of earnings management, auditor independence and audit quality. He has published peer-refereed articles in relevant journals in his field such as Accounting and Business Research, Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Finance, International Review of Financial Analysis, International Review of Law and Economics and a paper entitled “Non-Audit Services Provided to Audit Clients, Independence of Mind and Independence in Appearance: Latest Evidence from Large UK Listed Companies” received the “Best Paper Award” at the 5th Financial Reporting Workshop in 2014. He has joined the International University of Monaco as Professor of Accounting in September 2015, teaching accounting at the MSc level. He believes that no professional in any area of the business can avoid the understanding of the preparation of financial statements and the logics and concepts behind the figures included in an annual report. In his courses, students are challenged to see how a similar transaction can be recorded in different ways under different accounting standards. They are also exposed to the link between accounting quality and structure of firms’ corporate governance and to the crucial importance of ethics in accounting.
