I joined Royal Holloway University of London in 2006. I used to direct the MSc International Accounting in a period of significant and rapid growth. Earlier formative years were spent at the University of Florence.My interdisciplinary research uses qualitative methods to explore how accounting and accountability practices assist organisations in becoming more sustainable. My main research activities focus on two themes relating to accounting for sustainability research. The first is concerned with problematising existing accounting practices looking at their effectiveness in facilitating sustainable transformation or in perpetuating unsustainable practices. The second is concerned with the implications of calculative practices in organisational decision making and operations which have a social and/or environmental impact. This research has included interdisciplinary studies on integrated reporting, stakeholder engagement, sustainability performance management, sustainability governance, water accounting and accountability. Academic publications have appeared in journals such as Accounting, Organizations and Society, Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, The British Accounting Review and Business Strategy and the Environment. I have also published practitioner-oriented reports for professional accountancy bodies, such as the ACCA, credited with informing global policy documents.
