JADE HUAYU CHEN

I am an assistant professor in accounting at the University of Kentucky. Before joining the University of Kentucky, I worked as an Assistant Professor of Accounting at Loyola Marymount University.

My research focuses on auditing, with particular interests in human capital in auditing, the audit labor market, and accounting and auditing regulation. My work examines how auditors, audit firms, regulators, and labor market forces shape audit quality and financial reporting outcomes. My research has been published in the Journal of Accounting Research and AUDITING: A Journal of Practice & Theory. 

I hold a Ph.D. in accounting from the University of Arizona. I earned a Bachelor of Economics in Public Finance from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and a Master of Science in Accounting from Michigan State University. Prior to academia, I worked for the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China as a financial advisor.
