    Biography

     
    I am a senior academic with over nineteen years of experience in higher education, specialising in countering fraud, audit, and governance. As a Certified Fraud Examiner, a Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy, and a Certified Business and Management Educator, I am dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice in my field. My commitment to impactful research is evident in my engagement in knowledge exchange with policymakers and practitioners, maximising the real-world implications of my findings. Beyond my academic role, I am a consultant in insider fraud with Cifas in the UK and a member of the Cross-Sector Advisory Group for the counter-fraud profession at the UK Cabinet Office, and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Advisory Council. I am also a member of the PRME Anti-corruption group aiming to embed ethics in HE and businesses globally. My multifaceted experience allows me to bridge theory and practice, fostering a deeper understanding of fraud, audit, and governance in today’s complex landscape.
