简介

Eddie Riedl is a Professor of Accounting and Everett W. Lord Distinguished Faculty Scholar in the Questrom School of Business, having joined Boston University in 2011. He previously was a professor at the Harvard Business School from 2002-2011. He graduated from Regis High School in New York City, the only all-scholarship high school in the country. He received a combined BBA/MBA at Pace University in 1992, and his PhD from Penn State University in 2002. Prior to entering academia, he worked at a Big 6 auditor, in internal audit at a Fortune 500 oil company, and in corporate reporting at a real estate brokerage house. During his career, he attained the professional designations of CPA, CMA, and CIA. His research focuses on two of the most pressing issues in financial reporting today: fair value accounting, and international accounting/IFRS. He has published in the top-tier accounting (The Accounting Review, Journal of Accounting Research, Review of Accounting Studies, Contemporary Accounting Research) and management journals (Management Science), with over 70 presentations at universities around the world, including Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, London Business School, and Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research has been recognized with the Competitive Manuscript Award (given in recognition for the top accounting dissertation), and he is among the 700 most-downloaded authors on SSRN. Eddie teaches classes at the undergraduate, MBA, executive, and doctoral levels. Both of his undergraduate and graduate "Financial Statement Analysis" courses have consistently ranked among the three highest-rated courses at BU's Questrom School of Business for the past 4 years. He has taught executive programs for a number of Fortune 500 firms, including BP, Ericsson, and TE Connectivity. His case studies have sold over 50,000 copies to date, with a focus on financial reporting and valuation topics in the real estate, financial services, agriculture, chemical, restaurant, and incarceration industries. His passions are his wife and three children, otters, and (depressingly, though hope springs ever eternal) the New York Mets.
