Her research has focused on the impact of regulatory changes (e.g., fraud consultation, audit firm rotation, and auditor reporting standard changes) on judgments and decisions of auditors and financial statement users. She also examines how auditors and audit firms manage errors and whether varying the error management climate affects auditors’ error reporting willingness and audit firm learning. Her recent work focuses on how auditors use specialist advice, the communication between auditors and audit committees, and auditors' use of data analytics. Anna is currently Editor at The Accounting Review (2020-2023).

Anna’s work utilizes primarily experimental but also archival, survey and qualitative research methods and her publications have appeared in a number of prestigious journals such as The Accounting Review, Accounting Horizons, Auditing: A Journal of Practice and Theory, Journal of Business Ethics, and International Journal of Auditing.
