Researchers in accounting mainly cluster around two main areas:
- governance and ethics
- accounting history
The Accounting, Governance and Accountability (AGA) research group undertakes research projects unified by the overarching theme of accountability. We have enjoyed recent funding support from a number of external bodies including the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Specific areas of research expertise include:
- corporate reporting
- business ethics
- corporate philanthropy
- social and environmental accounting
- sustainability and social measurement
- third sector accountability
- accounting history
