About

Mark Finn is a Clinical Professor of Accounting and International Business at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. He has served as director of Kellogg's Global Initiatives in Management (GIM) program from 2001 to 2008. Prior to his tenure at Kellogg, he was on the faculty of the University of Chicago. Prof. Finn holds PhD, MS, and MBA degrees from Cornell University and an honors BA from Stanford University. His teaching encompasses core financial accounting and advanced classes in financial reporting, taxation, international accounting, and forensic accounting. He has received multiple teaching awards, including the Sidney H. Levy Teaching Award in 2025 and the Chairs' Core Teaching Award six times, most recently in 2021. His primary research interests focus on the quality and credibility of financial disclosures, especially in non-US settings, with particular attention to accounting for foreign operations, risk management activities, and financial reporting outside the United States, including Japan and emerging markets. He is a coauthor of the market-leading textbook 'International Accounting' and has published research articles such as 'Market Rewards for Increasing Earnings Patterns' in the Journal of Accounting Research. Prof. Finn has been affiliated with institutions such as the Sasin Graduate Institute of Management in Thailand and the Birla Institute of Technology and Science in India, and has served as a visiting professor at the Indian…

• Covalent Adaptable Networks Mediated by Redox‐Responsive Neighboring‐Group‐Participating Transalkylation

  Angewandte Chemie International Edition · 2025-04-17 · 9 citations

  articleOpen access

  Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) typically require external catalysts to facilitate efficient crosslinker exchange, which can limit the reprocessability of the network due to leaching and degradation of the catalyst. In this study, the use of catalysts was avoided by employing a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (BCN) bis-alkyl halide crosslinker with selenium-based neighboring-group-participation (NGP) to enhance the rate of bond exchange. This thermally mediated C─N alkyl exchange and the associated flow…

• Click Chemistry: The Certainty of Chance (Nobel Lecture)**

  Angewandte Chemie International Edition · 2025-03-20 · 9 citations

  articleOpen access

  The click chemist's playground: The most important certainty-of-chance outcome of click chemistry was the realization that perfect reactions can exist. Chemistry is about bond-making and bond-breaking reactions between atoms and molecules. So, the emergence of “perfect reaction” status promises to be transformative to the very heart of chemistry, and thence to the range of benefits for mankind that its future evolution may hold. If one is fortunate, one can spend time and effort trying to figure…
