The project titled “The Impact of Credit Rating Industry Liberalisation on Bond Market Efficiency and Its Mechanisms”, submitted by Associate Professor Yanhui Wang of our School, was approved for funding under the Young Scientists Fund programme.
The NSFC is one of the core indicators for measuring the fundamental research capabilities of universities and research institutions. The number of approved projects and the amount of funding directly reflect the research strength of these institutions in relevant fields. The approval of this NSFC Young Scientists Fund project not only represents a high-level recognition of the research capacity and academic standing of our faculty members, but also serves as a significant achievement resulting from the School’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its research teams and actively promote innovation among young academics. The School attaches great importance to the NSFC project application process, and has provided comprehensive support for faculty applicants through various means, including experience-sharing sessions, expert mentoring, and team incubation.
Looking ahead, the School of Accounting will continue to deepen academic innovation in the field of digital finance and accounting, foster a research environment grounded in rigour and practicality, and continuously contribute high‑level research outcomes to support the nation’s high‑quality economic development.
