Claudia Roehl

Claudia Roehl, Instructor of Accounting, brings to USF over ten years of experience as a Finance Director, V.P., Financial Analyst Officer and Senior Accountant, with a research concentration in structured finance, and specifically, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and asset-backed securities (ABS). Her work aims to leverage and combine economic and accounting studies with her extensive knowledge of financial investment instruments. Drawing from her own explorations into credit analysis and public accounting, Roehl introduces students to the accounting information systems, tools, principles, and procedures they'll need to help evaluate financial information, improve operating efficiency, and inform decision-making within businesses and organizations.

As a former Director/Vice President of Financial Institutions & Structured Finance at Fitch Investors Service in New York, Claudia Roehl was the Product Manager for ABS transactions, and their primary corporate debt analyst covering mortgage banks, finance companies, and credit card banks. In her time at Fitch investors, she published over ten research reports on structured finance transactions and financial institutions.
