Bio:
Daniel Rabetti is originally from São Paulo, Brazil. He holds a Ph.D. in Business from Tel Aviv University and joined the National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School in 2023 as the S. Dhanabalan Chair in Quantitative Studies and Presidential Young Professorship (PYP) Assistant Professor in Accounting and Finance.
Professor Rabetti’s research examines how emerging technologies reshape the production, verification, and governance of financial information. His work lies at the intersection of accounting, auditing, and financial markets, with a focus on how innovations such as blockchain, decentralized finance (DeFi), and artificial intelligence affect financial reporting, audit processes, and the transparency of digital financial systems. His research studies how new technological infrastructures transform traditional mechanisms of information verification, disclosure, and regulatory oversight.
His work has been presented at major monetary policy and regulatory institutions, including the Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the European Banking Authority, and several central banks. It has also informed policy discussions on the accounting, reporting, and taxation of digital assets, including responses to the U.S. Congress’s request for information regarding digital asset taxation.
Professor Rabetti’s research has been presented at leading accounting and finance conferences, including the American Accounting Association (AAA), Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) Conference, Journal of Accounting & Economics (JAE) Conference, ABFER, AFA, SFS Cavalcade, and WFA. His work has been published in top-tier academic journals, including the Journal of Accounting Research, the Journal of Accounting & Economics, Management Science, and the Journal of International Business Studies, and has been featured in major media outlets such as Bloomberg, The Washington Post, and The Financial Times.
Before joining NUS Business School, he was a visiting scholar at Cornell University through the Fintech Initiative and DEFT Labs. Beyond academia, he advises fintech ventures in the blockchain space and enjoys football and Portuguese literature.
