The School of Accounting & Finance lays strong claims to be the leading research unit in Accounting and Finance in Scotland:

• In the UK's latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), the mean weighted average (MWA) of our research profile indicated that we were a leading research unit in Accounting and Finance in Scotland. Once the MWA is adjusted to reflect the amount of work submitted for assessment, the Dundee School emerges as clearly the best research unit in Accounting & Finance in Scotland. Indeed on the same basis of evaluation we are ranked third in the UK (a comparison with Accounting and Finance work submitted to be assessed in the category Business and Management is difficult). In absolute terms we had the highest amount of published work assessed as in the two highest categories of the assessment. Further, our trajectory of improvement as a research unit has been especially impressive.
• The RAE, along with the British Accounting Review Research Register, also clearly indicates that we are the most research active unit of Accounting and Finance in Scotland. Nineteen full time equivalent staff's work was submitted for assessment, more than any other unit in Scotland. The Research Register indicates that we have a very high number and proportion of research orientated staff in Accounting and Finance.
• Together with the fact that we have ESRC recognised programmes for postgraduate/PhD study, the above indicates that the School is a great environment for research, research training and doctoral study.
