Associate Professor Robert Yetman is an expert on corporate tax, financial accounting, income tax, U.S. and international financial accounting, and non-profit accounting and tax issues. His research concentrates on the effect of taxes on business decisions and the response of non-profit organizations to economic incentives. Recently, Assistant Professor Yetman examined why some tax-exempt charities choose to be taxed on their unrelated business income, and how such behavior is not always driven by the desire to maximize profits. He teaches a course on business taxation and has lectured on cost accounting at executive education programs for wine industry professionals.
