Yi Luo

Yi Luo is an Assistant Professor at the Ivey Business School, Western University, Canada. Their work focuses on auditing, financial accounting, and evidence-informed policy-making, with a strong emphasis on knowledge transfer and replication studies in accounting research.

• Current research explores auditability during crises (e.g., COVID-19 improvisation), regulatory effectiveness (CPAB vs. PCAOB), and gender dynamics in investor decision-making.
• Collaborations with Steven Salterio and Kris Hoang highlight interdisciplinary approaches to audit standard development and evidence-based policy.

Recent publications address the replication crisis in accounting (2022), dignity challenges in workplace design (2024), and methodological innovation for practitioner-focused research synthesis (2022). Articles from 2021-2025 demonstrate a trajectory toward integrating critical social theory (e.g., feminist critiques of informational tactics in 2025) with technical audit research.
