Hi, I'm Seda Oz

I am an associate professor of accounting (with tenure) at the School of Accounting and Finance, University of Waterloo. I received my PhD in accounting from the Stern School of Business at the New York University in 2013. Yes, I voluntarily chose to study accounting at the doctoral level and yes, I sometimes make my family call me "Doctor".

I primarily conduct archival financial accounting research. I am interested in examining the information needs of capital market participants, including the determinants of firms' financial reporting and disclosure choices, the role of regulation in financial institutions and stock market reactions. My work has appeared in journals such as the British Accounting Review and Financial Management, which you're welcome to read. For the full collection of my academic contributions to humanity, visit the Research page.

I teach Intermediate Financial Accounting II and Advanced Financial Accounting at the undergraduate level and Archival Research in Accounting at the doctoral level.

When I'm trying to avoid work (because procrastination is a form of art), I build interactive games and educational tools. Check out the Games section for some of them.

Feel free to get in touch with me via social media (listed at the top right corner) or email (listed on the left side bar). I promise I'm more charming than this bio suggests.
