My main research interests lie in investigation of the information content of accounting disclosures, analysis of corporate earnings series’ dynamics, and development of non-parametric econometric methods for analysis of time series. I am a past executive trustee and Chair of Trustees of the British Accounting and Finance Association. I was formerly Head of Department of Accounting at the University of Exeter Business School and Head of the Accounting/Finance subject group at Aberystwyth University.

I am a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and, prior to my academic career, had twelve years’ experience in financial and professional services: with Ernst & Young; NatWest Group; and Accenture. I won the Henry Ford Scholar Award and an A T Kearney Prize for my MBA performance at Cranfield University / Carnegie Mellon University (USA).
