Eval­u­ate and Re­ima­gine - Ac­count­ing, audit­ing and ac­count­ab­il­ity

Existing and new forms of accounting and auditing practices develop accountability processes that may benefit a range of actors in society. My research seeks to critically examine the effectiveness of these practices, to understand how regulation and arrangements might augment or undermine this effectiveness and to consider how accounting and auditing might be more effective for the benefit of society.
