Christian Peters is a first-year PhD student at Tilburg University. His PhD is co-sponsored by FAR. Christian conducts research on judgment and decision-making in the auditing practice. He also teaches in the field of external reporting.

In the second episode of FARview, educationalist Dr. Therese Grohnert is our guest. The FAR project she is collaborating on addresses the link between learning and decision making, the central question being how auditors can adapt to new challenges and unexpected problems.

We would like to ask you to keep the afternoon of Monday the 22nd of June open (1:00 – 4:00 pm CET). We are currently investigating the possibilities for an interesting online and interactive session.
