My research focuses on the regulatory aspects of business reporting and sustainability management in emerging countries. Taking the regulatory framework(s) of accounting, I examine the historical, social and political contexts of how regulators particularly in the emerging such as India, China and other developing countries have directed their policies for the sustainable development of their socioeconomies. My teaching philosophy covers the theoretical, practical and critical aspects of modern day financial reporting.

(*High Impact study- REF2014)

Brief description: [On the request of the Minister of Corporate Affairs (MCA) in India, Hon. Mr. Salman Khurshid and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in India (ICAI), New Delhi, India, a research report based on the newly developed ‘Dialectic Interviews’ with more than 270 interviewees, with subjects including Ministers, Secretaries and twenty (past) Presidents of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in India. The report and consultations for MCA have already led the Government of India not to adopt IFRS for the sake of sustainable development of India’s socio-economies, which is a significant change from the previous announcement in 2007 and has initiated new trends in the international politics of accounting standards setting (Ministerial Announcement: 22^nd Jan. 2010) (ICAI: Oct.2010).]

By analysing e the Oxford Financial Reporting Scheme for Sustainable Development (OFRSSD) based on the Principles of Institutional Mechanism Design (IMD) and the Principles of Effective Regulation.
