Personal profile

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.
