Richard Fontaine

I am an accounting professor at the University of Quebec in Montreal. I teach management accounting to non-accounting students, including students at our university's School of Fashion. I strongly believe that management accounting could add more value to professionals working outside of the field of accounting by helping to make better decisions and to apply more relevant performance indicators. My interests in research include studying how management accounting can help the fashion industry increase performance, not only financial performance but also social and environmental performance (known as the triple bottom line). I am also interested in the auditor-client relationship, mostly from the client's perspective.
