PhD Accounting

Overview

Our Accounting research looks at the relationship between the accounting profession, governance and society and explores the nature and purpose of accounting institutions and practices, with a view to improving social well-being and stimulating greater accountability.

A key part of this is our Accounting Research Centre (ARC) which explores these areas of interest from a variety of perspectives, including Arab and Islamic contexts, historical analysis, gender issues, public sector contexts and interdisciplinary approaches.

ARC's work covers a diverse range of research linked by the common thread of the continuing and significantly growing influential role that accounting plays in the functioning of modern society.

Research projects

Accounting research is based around the following four broad areas:

• The Accounting Profession
• Governance and Society
• Accountability
• Globalisation

We welcome enquiries and applications from suitably qualified candidates for PhD studies in these areas.
