Research Biography

I have strong interest and experience in accounting, social and environmental reporting and accountability and accounting pedagogic research. So far, I have published 20 publications, including four book chapters and 18 research papers and presented 12 papers at prestigious international conferences. A paper from my PhD has been published in Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal (ABDC # A*), and two other papers published in Business Strategy and The Environment (ABDC # A) and Applied Economics (ABDC # A). Three papers are now R&R stage in two A*/A ranked journals, two papers are under review in two top tier accounting & finance journals, and a few papers are in work in process. I currently have several projects from which I expect more A*/A ranked publications. My current Google Scholar citation counts 864. My primary research interests include social and environmental accounting, reporting, and accountability. In addition, I am supervising PhD, UG and PG dissertations. Further, I have received internal grants and am currently working on a few projects for external funding.
