Professor Maksymov grew up in Ukraine—part of the Soviet Union until 1991. This background gave him a deep appreciation for the importance of strong capital markets and mechanisms that ensure their proper functioning. After working as an auditor at Deloitte from 2004 to 2009, he earned his Ph.D. in Accounting at Cornell University and joined ASU in 2014, where he teaches ACC450, "Principles of Auditing," both in-person and online, using his solo-authored textbook that has been adopted by major universities. His research focuses on the mechanisms that shape the quality of financial reporting and auditing. Utilizing qualitative and survey methods, Professor Maksymov has published his work in the accounting field’s premier journals, including the Journal of Accounting and Economics; Journal of Accounting Research; The Accounting Review; Contemporary Accounting Research; and Accounting, Organizations, and Society.
