I teach across three UNC Kenan-Flagler programs as well as in UNC Executive Development. Please e-mail me if you have any questions about these courses.

​​

Strategic Cost Analysis and Performance Measurement (MBA Core)

​This course focuses on internal operations, cost analysis, and performance evaluation, as opposed to the evaluation of external financial statements. Its targeted audience includes students intending become management consultants, entrepreneurs, managers (e.g., CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and product managers), and anyone with an interest in understanding how firms (1) make decisions about products and services and (2) evaluate performance and risk. Topics covered include overhead allocation, activity based costing, opportunity cost of excess capacity, customer profitability, capital budgeting, transfer pricing, performance evaluation, risk management, internal controls, and fraud. Applications cover both the manufacturing and services sectors.

​​​​

Financial and Managerial Accounting (MSM Core)​

This course introduces fundamentals of financial and managerial accounting. Students will learn to interpret financial statements and understand revenue recognition and accrual accounting. Students will also explore key managerial topics such as cost behavior, activity-based costing, and customer profitability. The course is designed for students without prior accounting experience who want to build a practical foundation for careers in management, consulting, marketing, or finance.

​

Current Topics in Accounting Research (PhD)

This course covers recent research in accounting, focusing on research that either combines accounting with another discipline or combines multiple subdisciplines within accounting. It also covers recent research in other economic fields. The learning objectives of this course are threefold. First, it aims to expose students to cutting-edge research in accounting and other disciplines. Second, it aims to introduce students to examples of interdisciplinary accounting research and the benefits of doing research at the intersection of accounting and other topics in economics, finance, and other fields. Third, it aims to provide students with an understanding of the research process, including how ideas are generated, how co-author teams are formed and work together, and how papers are advanced through the publication process.

​

UNC Executive Development

These customized, interactive sessions help leaders interpret cost and profitability information, challenge the assumptions embedded in financial reports, and make better operating and resource-allocation decisions. Participants learn to identify which costs will actually change under a decision, evaluate trade-offs involving outsourcing, capacity expansion, and process improvement, understand how overhead allocations shape product and customer profitability, and evaluate performance in ways that distinguish managerial actions from changes in workload and other factors outside a leader’s control. Sessions use client-specific cases, scenario analysis, guided calculations, and group exercises and can be adapted to manufacturing, service, or public-sector settings. Topics may include cost behavior, contribution margin, activity-based costing, customer profitability, capacity management, flexible budgeting, variance analysis, capital budgeting, transfer pricing, and internal controls.
