Personal profile
Research interests
As an applied accounting researcher, I have an extensive experience in research, teaching, and consultancy. My research focuses primarily on corporate governance and accountability, with a particular emphasis on accounting standards, risk management, corporate risk reporting, corporate social responsibility reporting, and financial institutions. I have published widely in esteemed scholarly journals, including the Accounting, Auditing and Accountability, Journal of Business Ethics, Accounting in Europe, Managerial Auditing Journal, Mediterranean Accounting Review, and Public Money and Management.
Over the course of my career, I have secured competitive research and industry grants from notable organizations such as DFAT, Citi Foundation, and CRCs. My contributions to the field are reflected in my publications and in my role as a dedicated research supervisor, mentoring students at PhD, Masters, and Honours levels.
Before joining Bond University, I held academic positions at Griffith University, Monash University, and Swinburne University. I am also a member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and the Griffith Asia Institute, which further enhances my engagement with the broader academic and professional communities.
Statement for HDR students
I am interested in supervising HDR research in areas such as corporate governance, sustainability, board diversity, and financial reporting, particularly in how these factors influence investor decision-making.
I have supervised students using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, including surveys, in-depth interviews, secondary data analysis, and content analysis. My approach is to support students in applying a diverse range of research techniques to explore complex issues within these fields.
