Biography

Rimmy E. Tomy’s research primarily relates to regulatory enforcement in the financial sector, focusing on the systemic importance of financial institutions within the broader economy. This sector is highly regulated, making enforcement issues of first-order importance. Professor Tomy studies how regulators' disclosure enforcement actions affect banks' compliance and the internal audit systems' influence on enforcement in financial regulation. His research also delves into the enforcement within the financial sector, particularly regarding credit access in developing countries where formal market institutions, courts, auditing, and financial-reporting systems often function poorly. His work has been published in top journals such as the Journal of Accounting and Economics, the Review of Financial Studies, and the Journal of Accounting Research.
