Eldar Maksymov

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 for five years, he earned his Ph.D. in Accounting at Cornell University and joined ASU in 2014, where he teaches auditing at undergraduate and graduate levels both in-person and online, using his solo-authored textbook that has been adopted by major universities. He received teaching awards and the Wildman Award, awarded annually for the publication with the most significant contribution to the practice of accounting. 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. He is frequently invited to present his research at universities around the world.
