OBJECTIVES

The research group on FINANCE and ACCOUNTING at the University of Valladolid aspires to be recognized as a GIR in order to adapt its current configuration to the provisions of art. 83 of the LOU, in art. 124 of the Statutes and in the regulations developed for this purpose by the governing bodies of this University. The group began to form at the beginning of the 1990s within the old Department of Economics and Business Administration with the purpose of channeling the research initiatives of the doctoral professors of said department assigned to the area of ​​Financial Economics and Accounting. With this purpose and in the conviction that cooperation and teamwork are inexcusable requirements in the knowledge society, the research team in FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING has been positioning itself in the regional, national and international academic fields through coordination of his research activity around the trinomial of projects-congresses-publications. Based on this starting point, the research group intends to continue advancing along the path begun until reaching, among others, the following objectives:

1. Consolidate a work team in which "senior" and "junior" researchers intermingle.

2. Focus and harmonize the group's activity around its lines of research.

3. Strengthen the projection of the group in the international arena.

4. Tune in to the “live” research projects with the doctoral theses underway by the group's fellows.

5. Form a group of excellence in the terms provided in the recent call for aid for research projects of the Ministry of Education of the Junta de Castilla y León.
