PhD in Accounting, UC Berkeley

Instruction:

In an essay, discuss how your personal background informs your decision to pursue a graduate degree. Please include any educational, familial, cultural, economic, or social experiences, challenges, or opportunities relevant to your academic journey; how you might contribute to social or cultural diversity within your chosen field; and/or how you might serve educationally underrepresented segments of society with your degree. (Word Limit: Approximately 800 words).


In this essay, I would like to talk about my family background, the major intellectual challenges I have faced, and how I can serve educationally the underrepresented segments of society with my degree.

I come from a Chinese family which abounds in the spirit of intellectual inquiries. My parents are both university professors in economics and business who have made important achievements in their respective fields. With their heightened awareness of the importance of education, they funded my undergraduate and graduate education in the U.K. Having developed my own intellectual aptitudes and research potentials, I can now share their academic interests and their commitment to research. More often than not, our routine evening dinners would become mini-seminars and all of us truly enjoy our free play of the mind.
It would be wrong to assume that my parents, with their limited source of income, have financed my expensive education in the U.K. out of a materialistic concern of helping me secure a well-paid career. We are prepared to do anything for education in order to cultivate that rare quality of moral integrity and moral responsibility. As professors of economics and business, my parents fully supported my decision to learn accounting because accounting, far from being a profession of monotony dealing with lifeless figures and numbers, is closely connected with human realities and values. “Why is there reckless inside trading on Chinese stock market? Why is the practice of fraudulent information disclosure by listed companies so rampant? Why do disillusioned small investors on the stock market have to commit suicide as a result of the listed firms’ deceptive practices?” They taught me to understand essential moral points in the first place during my intellectual pursuit.

Throughout my undergraduate program at the University of XXX and the Master of Science program at the Business School of Manchester, I kept wondering why accounting principles and standards are so rigorous. I wondered why my professors talked about those rigorous and stringent principles and standards as a matter of course. I also wondered why western researchers take all the trouble to develop so many sophisticated models in accounting, finance and economics. As I kept delving deep into my studies, I realized that this is not only because western market economy is mature but also because, first and foremost, this market economy is morally-oriented and legally-based. It is the need of human moral behavior.

However, even in the western world, auditing and accounting scandals do occur, as in the case of Enron and Anderson scandal. This further testifies to the need for strict auditing and accounting standards.

I achieved straight A’s in all my quantitative courses and I did my best to be error free in my empirical research, dissertation, essays, assignments, and reports by performing repeated computations and verifications concerning even the minutest details. This is a major intellectual challenge and many students would not consider it a big deal if they do not meet this goal. For me, it is a matte of responsibility and a necessary preparation for a career in accounting research. It has been a moral objective that I must realize.

In my proposed Ph. D. program in accounting, I expect to study how to examine the role of accounting information in firms and financial markets, focusing on how firms report information to investors, how investors process that information, how information affects stock prices and trading volume, the uses of accounting information in managing firms and compensating employees, and the nature of the auditing process.

This degree program will be vital to my envisioned career as a faculty at a leading university in China where I can serve educationally underrepresented segments of society. I will endeavor to make accessible to my prospective students the kind of rigorous accounting education I receive in the West. Together with my future students, I will perform cutting-edge research, investigate into potentially fraudulent information disclosure, and promote the quality of information disclosure.

As an emerging financial market in the world, China’s financial market is morally and legally flawed in many ways and an important number of individual small investors are inevitably the underrepresented and powerless segments of society against the listed companies that malpractice and manipulate. They buy stocks with their hard-earned money, only to be misled to bankruptcy and various forms of family tragedies. By helping develop a healthy system of financial information disclosure as well as the healthy operation of the country’s financial market as a whole, I will certainly serve the unprivileged groups of our society.

As I look back on my past and look into my future, I am most grateful to my family for having inculcated in me some of the most fundamental human values. By learning accounting and practicing accounting research that can benefit the societal welfare of the underrepresented social groups, I will achieve a meaningful self-actualization in a field of intellectual inquiry which I am so passionate about.

写作要求:

在本文中,请讨论你的个人背景如何贯穿于你攻读研究生学位的决定。请涵盖与你求学历程相关的任何教育方面的、家庭方面的、文化方面的、经济方面的或社会方面的经历、挑战、或机会;在你所选择的专业领域中,你将如何为社会多样性或文化多样性做出贡献?以及/或者,你将如何应用你的学位所带给你的知识,通过教育这一途径,为社会中未被充分代表的那些群体提供服务?

在本文中,我希冀谈论我的家庭背景,我所面对过的重大学术挑战,以及我将如何利用我的学位所会带给我的知识,通过教育这一途径,为社会中未被充分代表的那些群体的人们提供服务。

我出生于一个充满了学术探究精神的中国家庭。我的父母亲均为大学教授,专业领域为经济学与商科,他们在各目的领域中成绩斐然。凭借着他们对教育重要性超乎常人的认识,他们支助我在英国完成了我的本科与研究生阶段的学习。现在,在拓展了我自身的学术禀赋与研究潜质之后,我能充分地分享他们的学术兴趣,以及对学术研究的全身心投入。在很多时候,我家例行的晚餐常常会变作一个小型学术讨论会,而我们每个人都十分享受那无羁无束的头脑激荡。

如果有人认为,我那收入来源有限的父母亲,之所以支助我在英国接受花费高昂的教育,只是出于帮助我获取一份收入丰厚的职业这一物质主义的考虑,那就大错特错了。我们之所以甘愿举全家之力,为了教育付出我们的一切,目的就是为了能培养起那种珍贵的道德上的正义感与责任感。作为经济学与商科专业的教授,我父母全力支持我学习会计的决定,因为会计远不是一种沉闷乏味、仅与冷冰冰的数字打交道的职业,而是与人类的现实和人类的价值密切相关。“中国的股票市场为何会存在肆无忌惮的内线交易?为什么上市公司在信息披露上的欺诈行为如此猖獗?为什么股票市场上绝望的中小投资者因为上市公司的欺骗行为而不得不走上绝路?”在我的求学路上,他们首先教给我的,就是去理解这些问题背后的道德含义。

在XXX大学攻读本科期间,以及在曼彻斯特大学商学院攻读硕士期间,我不断在思考,为什么欧洲的会计准则和标准是那么的严谨。我一直在思考,为什么我的那些教授们在谈论这些严谨和严格的会计学准则和标准时,是那样的一种理所当然的神情。我也在思索,西方的研究人员,为什么要不厌其烦地研发出如此数量繁多、错综复杂的会计学、金融学和经济学的模型。随着我的学习不断向纵深发展,我意识到这一切不仅仅是因为西方的市场经济更为成熟,而是因为根本之根本,这种市场经济是以伦理与法律为导向的,市场经济是全然基于人类道德行为之需求的。

但是,即使是在西方世界,审计和会计丑闻也时不时确有发生,例如Enron和Anderson丑闻。但这反过来又证明了实施严格的会计与审计标准的必要性。

在我全部的数理课程中,我保持了全优的记录。在我所做的实证研究、论文,作业和报告中,我竭尽全力,做到毫厘不爽,对哪怕是对最微小的细节,也要不厌其烦地进行一次又一次的计算和验证。这是一个重大的学术挑战,许多学生如果无法企及这一目标,也根本不会感到大惊小怪。但是,于我而言,这是一件攸关责任感的事情,也是对会计研究这一职业生涯所作的一种必要准备。它是我必须实现的一种道德目标。

在我拟攻读的会计学Ph.D.的过程中,我期待着去研究如何去检验会计信息在公司和金融市场上的作用,将侧重于公司应当如何去向投资者披露信息,投资者该如何处理所披露的信息,信息披露将如何影响股价及交易量,如何利用会计信息来经营公司和处理员工福利,以及怎样理解审计过程的本质。

我所希望攻读的学位课程,对我所憧憬的职业生涯具有至关重要的作用。我期待着成为中国某一顶尖大学的教授,这样,我便可以通过教育这一途径,为社会中那些未被充分代表的群体提供我的服务。我会竭尽全力,让我未来的学生从我这里获得我在西方所受到的严谨的会计学教育。我将与我未来的学生一起,从事前沿的研究,对公司信息披露方面所潜在存在的欺诈行为展开调查,从而促进信息披露的质量。

作为全球的一个新兴金融市场,中国的金融市场在诸多方面,存在着伦理与法律上的缺陷。相当数量的个体小投资者,不可避免地沦为社会中未被充分代表的群体,面对着舞弊和操控信息的上市公司,他们无能为力。他们用含辛茹苦赚得的钱购买股票,到头来却被误导而致破产,遭遇各种各样的家庭悲剧。通过推动建立一个健全的金融信息披露体制,推动中国整个金融市场的健康运作,我将毫无疑问地为我们社会中的弱势群体提供有价值的服务。

回顾过去,展望未来,我十分感激我的家庭,是我的父母在我的心灵深处,向我灌输了某些最根本的价值观。通过攻读会计学博士课程,从事会计学研究,我将给社会中未被充分代表的群体带来社会福祉。而与此同时,我也将在一个我对其充满了如此激情的学术探究的领域中,取得一种有意义的自我价值的实现。
