        Biography

        Dr. Elizabeth Tori’s research focuses on company financial disclosures and legal and regulatory environments. In research begun as a doctoral candidate at Texas A&M, she examined what happens to firm valuation and board of directors’ compensation when independent directors are at personal risk of being sued. The paper was published in the Contemporary Accounting Research journal—a top-tier publication. In another research project, she explored how private equity firms use press releases to attract potential investors.

        Tori joined the Harbert College of Business after spending four years as an assistant professor at Oklahoma State’s Spears School of Business, where she taught courses on ethics for public accountants and emerging issues in the accounting profession.

        At Auburn, she is teaching Accounting Information Systems (ACCT 5510).

        Earlier in her career she worked with retail clients in the audit practice of Grant Thornton in Atlanta. She earned her doctorate from Texas A&M University.

        In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, hiking and having other outdoor adventures with her family
