Teaching

Undergraduate:

  • BUS224: International Corporate Reporting
  • BUS261: Fundamentals of Financial Accounting

Postgraduate:

Didem’s interests broadly lie in empirical capital markets-based accounting research and financial reporting. In particular, she focuses on the role non-financial forms of capital play in firm valuation. Didem also has a special interest in corporate governance and is very keen to explore board dynamics with a view to understand how firms derive value from well-connected directors and the wealth of talent inherent in boards. Some of the areas Didem is interested in include:

  • Social network theory and analysis,
  • Non-financial forms of capital (human, social and symbolic capital),
  • Board of directors and corporate governance,
  • Current issues in financial reporting.

Didem is committed to enhancing the student experience and is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
