Furkan M. Çetin is an Assistant Professor in Accounting at the London School of Economics, serving as the Departmental AI Lead. He has a background in chemistry and industrial engineering, completing his PhD in accounting at the Kellogg School of Management. His research focuses on how accounting influences real economic outcomes, especially in the realm of innovation. For instance, his published work in the Accounting Review illustrates that the revenue recognition standard (ASC 606) has significantly reduced information asymmetry in drug development, thereby enabling firms to raise capital, form R&D alliances, and produce patents for drug candidates. In pharmaceutical contexts, he explores how accounting standards can impact R&D investment and corporate partnerships at a broader level, applying machine learning and large language models to better understand the innovation process and associated disclosures. He teaches management accounting at the PhD, MSc, and undergraduate levels.
