Dr. Jerry Sun is a Professor of Accounting at the Odette School of Business, University of Windsor, where he has served since 2007, progressing from Assistant to Associate and Full Professor. His research focuses on corporate governance mechanisms, international accounting standards, and auditing practices with particular emphasis on cross-border regulatory environments and banking sector dynamics.
His academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Accounting, University of Auckland, New Zealand (2007)
- M.S. in Accounting, University of Waterloo, Canada (2004)
- M.S. in Accounting, Chinese University of Hong Kong (1999)
- M.S. in Applied Mathematics, Donghua University, China (1988)
- B.A. in Mathematics, Fudan University, China (1985)
Professor Sun's research program investigates critical intersections of corporate governance, regulatory frameworks, and financial reporting quality. His work examines how institutional environments shape board effectiveness, audit committee oversight, and executive compensation structures, with significant contributions to understanding China's regulatory landscape and cross-border auditing challenges. His methodological approach combines large-scale empirical analysis with institutional theory to address real-world accounting and finance problems.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2014-2024) reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) governance mechanisms in banking (legal/financial expertise of directors, CEO compensation), (2) regulatory impacts on auditing (SEC enforcement, anti-corruption campaigns), and (3) financial reporting quality under institutional pressures (pandemics, environmental disclosures). His work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with practical regulatory concerns, particularly in emerging markets.
His research excellence has been recognized through multiple awards:
- Best Paper Award, International Conference on Pacific Rim Management (2018)
- Odette Award for Research Excellence (2013)
- Odette New Researcher Award (2012, 2010)
- Best Paper Award in Financial Accounting, AFAANZ (2012)
Professor Sun has secured competitive research funding totaling over $50,000 from SSHRC, CPA Canada, and university sources. His grants address critical issues including SEC enforcement impacts on auditor conservatism, compensation committee governance, and IFRS adoption effects. While specific student advisees aren't documented, his extensive publication record and grant activity indicate active research mentorship.
