![[New Faculty Interview] Prof. Wonja Song: Helping Students Discover Potential and Shape a Greater Future](https://biz.skku.edu/_res/editor_image/2026/04/MuUYrvyCaPwvLVMdPZmr0.jpg)
- [New Faculty Interview] Prof. Wonja Song: Helping Students Discover Potential and Shape a Greater Future NEW
- Q1. Could you please introduce yourself and share your background? I am Wonja Song, newly appointed to teach accounting at SKKU's Business School. Having worked for many years as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) handling practical auditing, tax, internal controls, and governance, I've always viewed accounting not just as numbers, but as the core language of corporate trust and transparency. I currently teach tax accounting and intermediate accounting, and I am deeply honored to serve as the faculty advisor for "Songhoeheon," our CPA preparation track, closely supporting students toward their career goals. Q2. What is your main field of study, and what inspired you to pursue it? My expertise centers on financial accounting, auditing, ESG, IFRS, and internal controls, with an expanding focus on tax accounting. I was drawn to accounting through hands-on professional experiences where I saw firsthand how financial statements and tax data act as critical indicators of a firm's current and future health. Understanding how these figures shape managerial strategy and market evaluation inspired me to dive deeper into academic research. Q3. How do you feel about joining SKKU, and what are your plans? It is a great privilege to join an institution with such deep tradition and academic excellence. My goal is to deliver a balanced perspective on how accounting and tax mechanisms actually function in capital markets. Through my tax accounting courses and my role at Songhoeheon, I want to help students grasp the practical significance of these subjects and provide hands-on guidance for aspiring CPAs. Q4. What are your research goals moving forward? I aim to continue exploring how corporate accounting disclosures impact stakeholders, and how accounting, auditing, internal controls, and ESG intersect with corporate sustainability. Furthermore, I plan to expand my research into tax accounting, investigating how taxation and reporting regulations influence managerial decisions and firm value, always aiming for a blend of theoretical rigor and real-world relevance. Q5. What does an ideal educator look like to you? An ideal educator goes beyond transmitting knowledge—they guide students to think independently and grow. In accounting and tax education, this means instilling professional ethics, social responsibility, and a long-term perspective rather than just focusing on exam preparation. I hope to help students develop into trusted, well-rounded professionals. Q6. Do you have any closing advice or words for SKKU Business students? I hope our students cultivate not only academic knowledge but also strong ethics, resilience, and independent critical thinking. Treat diligence and a high sense of responsibility as your greatest assets. I am committed to walking alongside you as a mentor who helps you discover your true potential and step confidently into a broader future.
