Partner narcissism in a private market setting University of Antwerp
This study investigates the association between audit engagement partners' narcissism (measured by the size of their signature) and audit reporting decisions and audit pricing in a private market setting.

Non-consensual dissemination of sexual images University of Antwerp KU Leuven
Digital technology provides young people with many new opportunities. However, these opportunities concurred with the development of new offences. A well-studied offence is non-consensual dissemination of sexual images (NCDSI), which can be described as the distribution of explicit photos and videos without the awareness and/or permission of the person pictured.

Investor reactions to apologies for financial misconduct University of Antwerp
We conduct three experiments to examine the implications of corporate apologies on investors' reactions to allegations of financial misconduct. In Experiment 1, we manipulate whether the firm apologizes or denies the misconduct. Additionally, we manipulate how the firm apologizes for (denies) the misconduct by comparing “basic” response strategies (i.e., responses containing nothing more than a simple apology or denial) with “full” response ...
A guide for accounting researchers to conduct and report systematic literature reviews University of Antwerp
Literature reviews can potentially contribute to our knowledge and understanding of a particular topic. However, consistent with anecdotal evidence, we document that literature reviews in auditing are of low quality in implementing best practice guidelines for conducting and reporting systematic reviews. We rely on existing guidelines and best practices in other domains to offer accounting researchers a step-by-step guide for conducting and ...
