    Biography

    I am a senior academic with over nineteen years of experience in higher education and a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). Currently, I am a Senior Lecturer and lead the Fraud Research Group (FRG) at Aston University. My primary research focuses on all aspects of fraud, audit, and governance across the private, public, and voluntary sectors. I am also engaged in pedagogical research, exploring various facets of teaching and learning.

    I have authored more than 45 frauds publications, including academic articles, professional writings, book chapters, blogs, and podcasts. I have also reviewed numerous manuscripts for international peer-reviewed journals and publishers, and I have chaired and presented at a variety of professional and academic conferences.

    Beyond my academic pursuits, I act as a consultant on insider fraud for Cifas in the UK. I am a member of the Cross-Sector Advisory Board for the counter fraud profession at the Cabinet Office, as well as the PRME Anti-Corruption Group and the ACFE Advisory Council.
