Biography

Andrew Stuart joined Suffolk in 2017 and primarily teaches financial accounting at the undergraduate and graduate level. Dr. Stuart earned his Ph.D. in Accountancy from Bentley University and his MBA at the University of New Hampshire. His research interests center on company disclosures and the related assurance of the disclosures. Of particular interest, is the rapidly increasing number of companies producing voluntary sustainability disclosures (also referred to as corporate social responsibility disclosures), with many also purchasing voluntary assurance of those disclosures. Prior to becoming a professor, he spent twelve years in various professional accounting and finance positions, including working the audit division of PricewaterhouseCoopers focusing on clients in the investment management industry. Dr. Stuart has been a certified public accountant since 2004.
