David Crowther, BA, MBA, PhD, FCMA, CPFA has worked in industry and commerce for over 20 years, first as an accountant and subsequently as a systems and business consultant and general manager, before becoming an academic. His doctoral thesis on the corporate reporting of social and environmental performance was completed while working as a lecturer in accounting at Aston University. He is now a Reader at the University of North London, and has acted as an adviser or consultant to a wide range of organisations. His research interests cover a wide area but are primarily concerned with issues surrounding the accountability of organisations to their wider stakeholder community such as: the effect of environmental influences on corporate reporting; the measurement and evaluation of corporate performance and the implications of specific measurement systems for corporate behaviour; the regulation of privatised industries; and accounting for the wider environment and stakeholder influences upon corporate reporting systems.
