Welcome to the Chair of Corporate Governance and Auditing

Prof. Dr. Christopher Koch

 

Corporate governance examines mechanisms that ensure good corporate management. Good corporate governance means that management acts in the best interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. Through our teaching and research, we aim to make a meaningful contribution to this field.

Our teaching program covers a broad spectrum. Introductory courses provide students with a solid legal and economic foundation in corporate governance mechanisms. In practice-oriented specializations—such as external auditing, internal auditing, and risk management systems—we prepare students for a successful career launch.

We actively foster exchange between academia and practice. Our lecturers and industry partners work in auditing and consulting firms, as well as in industrial and financial corporations. They bring real-world insights into the classroom through dedicated seminars, guest lectures, and workshops.

Our research is internationally oriented and focuses on auditing and corporate governance. We offer the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree either directly at the chair or externally, in collaboration with auditing and consulting firms.
