Thomas Holde Skinnerup serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Accounting at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), maintaining an office in Room SOL/D4.28 with contact details +4538152374 and tsph.acc@cbs.dk. His academic role centers on bridging accounting practices with organizational theory within public sector contexts.
Skinnerup's research program critically examines how economic theory shapes public sector accounting systems, particularly through sociological lenses. His current investigations focus on the implementation of Denmark's new common chart of accounts across universities, analyzing how productivity concepts influence accounting design and university management practices. Primary research domains include public sector accounting, sociological perspectives on accounting, and university governance structures, with emphasis on the performative effects of accounting systems in educational institutions.
Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal a concentrated exploration of Danish university accounting reforms, showing consistent methodological approaches through sociological theory. His work demonstrates how accounting practices become central to organizational control mechanisms, particularly in calculating unit costs and measuring productivity within higher education. Key thematic threads include the tension between economic rationality and accounting practices, the role of non-human actors in governance, and the impact of strategic framework contracts on institutional behavior.
Skinnerup actively contributes to academic discourse through courses including Management Accounting (HA/Psychology), Management Accounting and Project Management (HA/Project Management), and Implementation of Accounting (Cand.Merc/Accounting & Strategy). His research engagement extends to the project 'Analysis of the Danish University Sector's Governance and Funding Structure,' reflecting sustained institutional collaboration.
