Professional biography

I am interested in studying accounting, auditing and accountability practices of corporate organisations. More specifically, I am interested in the study of how accounting is used by corporations to achieve various corporate objectives and how it impacts society, planet and sustainability. My research has focused on the investigation of accountability mechanisms and disclosure practices from institutional and postcolonial perspectives. I am an expert in using qualitative methods and have published in such academic journals as Accounting Forum, British Journal of Management, Managerial Auditing Journal, and Journal of Accounting in Emerging Economies. My recent publications are as follows
