"One advantage of our subject is that issues such as production and accounting are of concrete importance in companies. Thanks to the rapid progress of IT, accounting information systems have become much more efficient. It is true that some impulses, such as the introduction of controlling, have come from practice. However, we were able to make a significant contribution to developments through research." (Hans-Ulrich Küpper)
