Research of the Accounting, Accountability & Financial Management group explores accounting, accountability and financial management systems in the public, private and finance sectors in their social and organisational contexts. It develops understanding of and proposes changes in these systems using research perspectives that draw from a range of social science disciplines.

Members of the Accounting, Accountability & Financial Management Group at King's are leaders in this wider community.
Current areas of research include: risk management within the corporate and public sectors; performance management in the public sector; the private finance initiative; corporate governance and accountability in an international context; pension fund accounting; market-based accounting research; sustainability reporting and assurance; financial risks attached to climate change and biodiversity risk.

My research lies in the area of organisational change in the public services, especially in professionalized settings such as health care and universities. I am interested in New Public Management and post NPM narratives of public policy reforming and the changing roles of professionals and managers, including clinical/managerial hybrids. I have also worked on the implementation of Evidence Based Medicine.
I have recently completed a big study of health care networks and am currently working on the nature of management knowledge and knowledge mobilisation processes in health care in two projects funding by NIHR SDO. I have also published on the ‘Business School Business’ and have an interest in alternative organisational forms in the Business School field.
