Dr. Becca Baaske is an Assistant Professor of Accounting in the Sykes College of Business at the University of Tampa. She brings practical experience from both public accounting, having worked as an auditor at PwC Chicago, and corporate accounting, where she served as staff at the former John Marshall Law School. Her research primarily contributes to the auditing and accounting information systems (AIS) judgment and decision-making literature, with a focus on experimental methodology. Specifically, much of her work examines how auditors may overlook risks or audit issues due to insufficient skill sets related to data or limitations in skeptical cognitive processing. Additionally, she contributes to the accounting education literature, exploring topics such as motivation, learning, and initiatives aimed at strengthening the accounting pipeline. She has published in academic journals such as Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory, Journal of Information Systems, and Accounting Horizons.
