Welcome to my website. It is a guide to my writings on auditing and related topics.
My interests include:
(i) Traditional logic and auditing
(ii) The use of testimonial knowledge to assess audit evidence
(iii) The importance to auditing of moral agency and creative interpretation
(iv) Bribery - its nature, its damaging effects on institutional integrity, and the challenges of both prevention and detection.
My latest book is the "Auditor's Companion" (Georgetown University Press, 2024).
I earned a doctorate in accounting and finance from the University of Liverpool, and
I am a Fellow of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
