5. State of own research

Lukas Handschin is a full professor of private law at the University of Basel. He specializes alike in company law and accounting law. His work titled „Accounting in Company Law“ and published at the end of 2012 describes accounting rules both as per CO and IFRS, as well as the relationships between them. The research project can build on this basis. The focus of research on accounting and company law is made evident by the separately submitted publication list.

Lukas Handschin is also involved in teaching in the area of accounting, in particular, through a lecture on accounting and auditing law held within the scope of the master’s program and accessible via an Internet script (http://www.eskript.unibas.ch/rechnungslegungsrecht/), as well as many specialized presentations as part of further education.
