I am currently Auditor General to the
Pan American Health Organization, in Washington D.C.
My published work stretches back to the turn of the millennium. My interests include:
(1) Traditional (Aristotelian) logic in auditing
(2) The reliability of testimonial knowledge for assessing audit evidence
(3) The importance in auditing of humanism, creativity, and moral agency
(4) The development and unique characteristics of auditing in India (based on the Vedic inheritance and the Arthaśāstra; Nyāya and other Indian traditions of epistemology and logic; and the assimilation of a range of international influences)
(v) Bribery - its nature, its damaging effects on institutional integrity, and the challenges of both prevention and detection.
My latest books are "The Closing of the Auditor's Mind?" (CRC Press) and "The Auditor's Companion" (Georgetown University Press).
From yesteryear:
My ID badge on joining Price Waterhouse (a predecessor firm to today's PricewaterhouseCoopers, PwC) in Leeds, England, as a trainee chartered accountant / financial auditor in 1990.
Great times!
