Biography

About Annette
I am a Senior Lecturer in the QUT Business School, a chartered accountant and member of the AICD.  I hold a Bachelor of Business degree from the University of New England, a Master of Commerce from QUT and a doctorate from the University of Warwick.

I teach and research in the areas of governance, management accounting, risk and business ethics. My research focuses on the politics of public governance and financial accountability and aims to improve the integrity and oversight of financial decision making across all levels of government. This research seeks to deeply understand the complexities of these problems from a political perspective so I’ve previously taken up a secondment to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (Canberra) and am currently an independent member of a local government audit and risk committee (Ipswich City Council). I have received competitive research grants to further this research  including from the Colin Brain Governance Fellowship, the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario (Canada) and AFAANZ.  The Colin Brain Fellowship focuses on addressing the problem of fraud and corruption in local government. I have also won teaching awards for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Australia and the UK.

Prior to joining QUT as a lecturer I taught at the London School of Economics (LSE)  in the department of Accounting. I started my accounting career as a tax undergraduate at a professional accounting firm and then joined the graduate program of a large ASX-listed building materials company. In my spare time I follow my passion for sport and encourage everyone, especially women to keep finding time for sport in our busy lives.
