Flora Sun

Ph.D. Candidate in Accounting

Indiana University

My name is Flora Sun and I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at Indiana University. I plan to graduate in May 2024. 

I am a financial archival researcher. My research interests primarily focus on disclosure and information production in capital markets. Specifically, I am interested in the determinants of media coverage and its impact on capital markets. I am also interested in studying how investors use the financial information provided by other information intermediaries, such as sell-side equity analysts and credit rating agencies.

I earned my B.B.A. in Accounting and Finance from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2013 and Master in Professional Accounting from The University of Texas at Austin in 2019. I was an auditor at PwC HK for two years (2013-2015) and a compliance specialist at Capco HK for two years (2015-2017). I passed HKICPA exams and CFA Levels I, II, and III when I was working in Hong Kong.
