Dwight Waeye successfully defends his PhD
On June 30th, Dwight Waeye defended his PhD dissertation titled "Detection and deterrence: An evaluation of internal whistleblowing programs as a dual-purpose organizational control", supervised by Sophie Maussen and Sophie Hoozée.
Throughout his PhD, Dwight contributed to our research group's work on whistleblowing, presenting at the 2026 MAS Midyear Meeting, the Research Day in Accounting, and VU Amsterdam's Day of the Courageous Controller.
We congratulate Dwight on this achievement and thank his supervisors and examination committee for their guidance. Dwight will be joining BDO Belgium's Audit and Assurance department. We wish him all the best in this new chapter and look forward to future collaborations.
