My teaching philosophy is that every student has the potential to succeed in an accounting class. Based upon this premise, I introduce complex accounting concepts in the most simplified manner possible to allow every student to succeed in my classes. This philosophy is consistent with the Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business’ (GCOB) mission to train students from a practice-oriented perspective. The philosophy is also consistent with UD’s mission of training morally virtuous intellectuals that address issues in their families, country, and church.
Along with this philosophy comes the need to work through problems as I teach my courses. This teaching approach allows students to be actively engaged in the teaching and the learning process. The approach also makes otherwise complex concepts easy for students to grasp as I work through problems with them while teaching.
My current research interests are in behavioral, management, and international accounting. The behavioral and management accounting research is primarily in performance management, where I focus on topics such as (but not limited to) the work engagement of accountants, leadership behaviors of accountants, management control systems, and coping strategies among accountants. In the international accounting arena, I focus on the role of culture and management control systems in attracting financing for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies. Both of my research streams are significant in today’s economy. First, there is a shortage of accountants across the United States and globally. Understanding the work engagement, leadership behaviors, job coping strategies, and management control systems in the accounting work environment is crucial for recruiting and retaining today’s accountants. Second, with a focus on credit accessibility among SMEs, my current research investigates the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for helping SMEs generate financial statements to demonstrate transparency to potential financiers. The goal is to help these small businesses to generate credible and auditable financial records to enhance access to credit and financial markets.
With over fifteen years of industry experience in the energy sector, I managed several specialized accounting areas. These include accounts receivables and bad debt, cash flow statements, EBITDA, Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs), Pensions and Post-Employment Benefits (OPEBS), Derivatives, and Accounting Research. My consulting practice focuses on helping small businesses prepare financial statements. On this front, I work with small businesses to effectively capture their economic events and appropriately record them in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
