Primary research areas
Public Oversight of Auditing
Examining and evaluating the role and consequences of public oversight of audits and the audit profession.
Sustainability accounting and accountability
Understanding and evaluating how accounting and accountability may (or may not) support sustainability and the potential for green transition
Sustainability assurance
Critically evaluating current forms of sustainability assurance and how sustainability audits/assurance might be changed to push the green transition
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.
