Robert G. Eccles first joined the faculty in 1979 and received tenure in 1989. He left in 1993 for a career in the private sector and rejoined the faculty in September of 2007 as a Senior Lecturer. Right after receiving tenure, Dr. Eccles started doing research on corporate reporting, a topic which remains of great interest to him from a research, managerial practice and public policy perspective. He has written two books on this subject, The ValueReporting Revolution: Moving Beyond the Earnings Game (with Robert H. Herz, E. Mary Keegan and David M. H. Phillips) and Building Public Trust: The Future of Corporate Reporting (with Samuel A. DiPiazza Jr.). A third book, One Report: Integrated Reporting for a Sustainable Strategy, (with Michael P. Krzus) will be published in March 2010. Dr. Eccles is also on the board of directors of XBRL International, Inc. XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) is the application of XML to corporate reporting and makes it easier for companies to report their results and for investors to access this information.
