Paul Schauer, Ph.D.
Dr. Schauer has worked nearly twenty years in public accounting. His experience in information systems auditing, financial accounting, and accounting services is extensive and is incorporated into his classroom every day. He began his teaching career part time while employed in public accounting. He found it so rewarding that he returned to school to obtain his doctorate and teach full time.
His research interests are as varied as his background. He has published articles on audit quality, information systems security, auditing procedures, and tax. His current research work addresses the question of the impact of differences that Roth and traditional retirement plans have on a person’s wealth after tax.
A professional achievement he is most proud of is receiving a prefect teacher rating of 4.0 in an introductory accounting course.
The most interesting place he has visited is the Haleakala Crater in Maui, Hawaii. “You go there before sunrise. Since it has an elevation of about 10,000 feet, the clouds are below you, so the sun rises through the clouds. It is a beautiful site. You can then ride a bicycle down the mountain around hairpin curves, a real thrill.”
One of Dr. Schauer’s hobbies is woodworking. He made the furniture in his office and many items for his home, family and friends.
