My Research Supervision
Areas of supervision
My area of expertise lies within international accounting. I am interested in the evolution of corporate reporting, specifically in innovative ways in which corporations communicate with their stakeholders. I examine corporate disclosures, both voluntary and mandatory, factors associated with the level and transparency of such disclosures, and their relevance to various stakeholders. My research program comprises the following three distinct but interrelated streams in international accounting and corporate reporting transparency: voluntary disclosure practices of international corporations; impact of IFRS on corporate transparency; impact of culture and governance on corporate reporting.
