Research Interests

My main research interests are in the area of corporate governance, particularly social and environmental accounting including sustainability, triple bottom line and reporting practices. My interest extends to stakeholder and associated theoretical development. I also have an interest in accounting information systems particularly in the areas of knowledge management, web based commerce, security and assurance. Education in the areas of teaching and learning, outcomes and curriculum development are of interest. Previously I have been involved in small business research activities including the role of the accountant and quality management.
