Summary
Teaching interests: My specialism is IFRS and financial accounting and I am the Module Leader for Corporate Reporting and Joint Module Leader for Advanced Financial Accounting & Reporting (both at Level 6). I also teach on a number of other courses: Financial Accounting & Reporting (at Level 5), Financial Accounting (at Level 4) and Financial Fluency (level 5).
When I joined Sheffield Hallam University, in June 2014, I had over 30 years experience working as an accountant in practice, commerce and training. For five years before joining the university, I was a director at one of the big four accountancy firms in Hong Kong and was responsible for their in-house IFRS CPD training in China for their qualified accounting staff (newly qualified to partner). Before this, I worked for a large training organisation for 14 years, initially tutoring on professional accountancy examination courses (ICAEW. ACCA and CIMA), but then later managing their UK public CPD programme. During this time, I also developed and delivered bespoke CPD accounting courses for a wide range of organisations in industry and practice.
I initially trained and obtained my ICAEW qualification with another big four accountancy firm and worked for them in audit for seven years in the UK and then in Zimbabwe.
