I am interested in research that examines the determinants and consequences of corporate narrative reporting. My research examines how corporate governance mechanisms and firm-specific characteristics affect the quantity and quality of narrative reporting. It also examines the stock market’s reaction to different classes of narrative information.  

My current research interests include:

• Corporate Narrative Reporting
• eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL)
• Corporate governance
• Earnings management
• International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
