Anna’s research interests are in the judgment and decision-making area, primarily applied to the field of auditing. Her research has focused on the impact of regulatory changes (e.g., fraud consultation, audit firm rotation, and auditor reporting standard changes) on judgments and decisions of auditors and financial statement users. She also examines how auditors and audit firms manage errors and whether varying the error management climate affects auditors’ error reporting willingness and audit firm learning. Her recent work  focuses on how auditors use specialist advice, the communication between auditors and audit committees, and auditors' use of data analytics. Anna is currently Deputy Senior Editor at Auditing: A Journal of Practice and Theory (2023-2026) and former Editor at The Accounting Review (2020-2023).
