Michael Adams

I am Professor of Strategic Risk Management at the University of Bath. Formerly I held academic positions at the Universities of Swansea, Glasgow, and Massey (New Zealand), and professional accountancy positions in the private and public sectors. I have published papers in over 70 academic journals and I am thrice winner of the Geneva Association/Shin Foundation Research Excellence Award. Over the last decade, I have also raised research funds of approximately £500,000 from UK and international public and private sector sources.

In addition, I have been appointed as consultant for several financial institutions both in the UK and overseas and employed as an expert witness in a major international insurance legal case. I am also Associate Editor of the British Accounting Review, the flagship academic journal of the British Accounting and Finance Association (BAFA), and on the editorial board of the Geneva Papers: Issues and Practice.

In October 2019, I shall be conferred the title of Doctor Honoris Causa in recognition of my scholarly research in the fields of risk and insurance by Umea University, Sweden.
