Thesis Topic

The Effect of Regulation and Auditor Mindset on the Likelihood to Adopt Data Analytics

Research Interests – Work in Progress

My research focuses on three streams: (1) accounting and tax regulations, that is the effect that new and existing accounting and income tax regulations have on decision-making, (2) innovative technology, that is how technology such as data analytics and artificial intelligence affects the audit ecosystem, and (3) the ethical implications of professional versus commercialism expectations placed on auditors.

Thesis Topic

Inter-professional decision-making in healthcare: A scoping review

Research Interests – Work in Progress

I study social and organizational theories that explain barriers to collaboration between workers from diverse backgrounds. I am exploring these themes in studies examining identity management strategies, interracial interactions, and organizational climates of diversity. The implications of these studies can help us understand how we can maximize the potential we can get from working well with each other, regardless of stigmatized identities.
