Hello!

My name is Kyle Smith, and I am an Assistant Professor in the Adkerson School of Accountancy at Mississippi State University. I received my Ph.D. in Accounting from The University of Alabama.


My research agenda is focused on nonprofit organizations, and I am interested in multiple topics within the nonprofit setting. My dissertation was on private foundations, and they remain a big part of my agenda. You can read more about my research agenda and papers here.

I am particularly interested currently in integrating effective altruism into my research agenda and am also seeking to make contributions to the EA community.


I teach Accounting Information Systems II (undergraduate) and Accounting Data Analytics (graduate). A summary of the topics covered in those two courses can be found in Teaching.
