My research interests include the interface between strategy and management control systems, climate change and emission trading, risk management, and accounting education. I have published papers in top-ranking accounting journals, including Management Accounting Research, British Accounting Review, Accounting, Auditing, and Accountability Journal, Behavioral Research in Accounting, Accounting Education: an international journal, and Accounting History. My PhD thesis investigates changes in electricity generators’ strategies and management control to manage business risks in the New Zealand Emissions Trading scheme context. My current projects examine carbon accounting and assurance, climate risk disclosures, and the role played by accounting in meeting climate change challenges. My research utilizes qualitative and quantitative methods, ranging from in-depth case studies to surveys and large database statistical analyses.

I am the Associate Editor of three journals: Accounting, Auditing, and Accountability Journal, Accounting and Finance, and Accounting Research Journal. I sit on the editorial board of British Accounting Review, Accounting History, and Meditari Accountancy Research. 

I have supervised four PhD students and many Masters and Honours students on various topics, including sustainability/carbon accounting and reporting, accounting education, and management accounting. Requests and expressions of interest for supervision in these areas are welcomed.
