I have been a Professor of Accounting since 2013, with an academic career spanning more than 30 years. My primary area of research and teaching is professional ethics in accounting. Within this broad domain, I have an interest and a track record of research on fraud, ethical behavior and ethics education. I am a member on several editorial boards, and I am presently Co-Editor of the Accounting Section for the highly regarded Journal of Business Ethics. I have published several articles in international peer reviewed journals, lead author of two textbooks, and content developer in professional development programs on ethics subject matter for professional accounting bodies.

I have been an academic for over 30 years accumulating a track record on accounting ethics of which fraud, ethcial behaviour and ethics education (and related issues) are major themes.
