Research

My research interests span across the areas of Financial Accounting Disclosure/Reporting and Strategic Management Accounting. I am currently involved in a project focusing on the relevance and effectiveness of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 on Heading accounting in meeting the needs of users of Financial Statements. This project was awarded a grant in 2023 by the Oxford Brookes Small Grant Scheme.

Research impact

The current research project explores the relevance and effectiveness of IFRS9 on Heading accounting which most recently became an area of interest to standard setters and accountants globally. This research has the potential to affect future changes to IFRS 9 on Hedge Accounting as the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) will be provided independent research on the perspectives of current users of Financial Statements on the relevance and effectiveness of current Hedge Accounting Disclosures.
