Mrs
I am a Principal Lecturer in Accounting, Economics and Finance in the Faculty of Business and Law. I am the Course Director for accounting postgraduate taught courses.
My background is in practice as a forensic accountant for a Big Four firm and, prior to that, in audit. My research and teaching are focused on financial accounting, forensic accounting, and economic crime, particularly in relation to sport.
I am a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, a Certified Fraud Examiner, and a Fellow of the HEA (now Advance HE).
I qualified as a Chartered Accountant with PKF (now BDO), undertaking audits across a variety of business sectors, preparing financial statements, performing due diligence work and providing business services to SMEs.
I then spent 8 years working as a forensic accountant for Deloitte in London, including disputes and expert witness work; fraud, insider trading, bribery, and corruption investigations; regulatory and US sanctions compliance work; and AML, compliance, and fraud risk reviews. During this time, I was also a member of accounting training teams, including acting as a financial expert for advocacy training for the Inner Temple.
I joined the Accounting and Financial Management subject group at the University of Portsmouth in 2015. I have written, lead, and co-deliver a football finance course for the Premier League's EAM program, and co-authored a report on football financial sustainability for DCMS published alongside the Government Response to the Fan Led Review of Football Governance.
I am interested in research in the areas where forensic accounting, financial accounting, corporate governance, and economic crime interact with sport.
My current research interests include:
I am the Course Director for the accounting postgraduate courses in Accounting, Economics and Finance.
I teach Fraud Examination and Forensic Investigations; Valuations and the Expert Report; and Introduction to Sport, Business and Management. I lead the Premier League's EAM Finance module, and also supervise undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations.
In prior years, I have taught both undergraduate and postgraduate modules, including Corporate Governance, Financial Crime, Ethics, and Controls; Financial Forensics and Investigations; Financial Analysis and Modelling; Advanced Financial Accounting; Financial Crime and the Law; and Expert Witnessing and Dispute Resolution.
