Research

Ulrike's research centers around the value of auditing and audit quality. She is interested in how inputs to the audit, the audit process and contextual factors affect audit production and audit quality. Specifically, her research investigates the quality of group audits, the effectiveness of public oversight and auditor's incentives from regulation and litigation. As a co-investigator of research grants from the Dutch Foundation for Auditing Research, she investigates the auditor's detection and correction of misstatements, audit production and the effect of audit committee involvement on audit quality.
