Biography

Professor of accounting Craig Emby's research is anything but dry. He specializes in applying aspects of cognitive psychology to judgment and decision-making in auditing. "As an auditor, you have to discover why inappropriate breaches of behaviour occurred and determine whether those reasons are valid," he says. "This is particularly pertinent in a profession where we're exercising judgment based on incomplete information."

A Chartered Accountant, Craig has been teaching foundational accounting courses at the Beedie School of Business for the past 20 years.

Originally from Winnipeg, Craig loves Vancouver's winter weather. He's also fond of power-boating in the Gulf Islands and the British Virgin Islands.

Specialization and Research Interests
