Peter Kroos conducts research into how businesses can use their management accounting systems to ensure that objectives are met as much as possible. He focuses on the use of performance measurement, targets and performance-based remuneration, and works to identify situations in which these instruments contribute – to a greater or lesser extent – to the realisation of corporate objectives. Kroos’ previous research projects focused, among other subjects, on determining how the introduction of clawback provisions (which allow businesses to reclaim money paid out to senior managers) affects the remuneration policy of executive managers.

As professor at the UvA, Kroos is currently assessing how these targets can contribute to a consistently positive customer experience and how businesses are working to improve the feasibility of these targets. He is also focused on internal forecasting practices within corporations.
