Huiqi Gan serves as an Associate Professor and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Coordinator in the Accounting Department at the Manning School of Business, University of Massachusetts Lowell. A Certified Management Accountant (CMA) with prior governmental audit experience, she joined the faculty in September 2015 after completing her Ph.D. at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Her educational credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Accounting (2015), Virginia Commonwealth University
- MS in Accounting (2011), University of Denver
- BBA in Accounting (2009), South China University of Technology
Dr. Gan's research bridges archival and behavioral methodologies across management accounting, corporate governance, and capital markets. Her work critically examines CEO compensation structures, corporate investment efficiency, earnings management tactics, and whistleblower dynamics. Recent investigations explore how managerial overconfidence influences classification shifting and how CEO tenure affects early-career investment decisions, revealing nuanced behavioral patterns in financial reporting and resource allocation.
Her 15 publications (2012-2024) demonstrate consistent contributions to top-tier journals like the Journal of Accounting and Public Policy and Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting. These works reveal evolving trends: early research focused on fraud reporting and institutional ownership, while recent studies analyze non-financial performance metrics, clawback provisions, and cybersecurity risk perceptions, reflecting her adaptive approach to emerging corporate governance challenges.
Scientific recognition includes:
- American Accounting Association Northeast Region Best Paper Award (2021)
- Best Ph.D. student research paper award (2016)
- Dean's Scholar designation (2015)
