I have published numerous papers on accounting and corproate governance in leading academic journals. My research has focused on (1) Accounting regulation in China, (2) Impact of information technology (e.g., Internet and ERP) on accounting, (3) Management accounting practice in China, and (4) Corporate governance in China.  I was the founding editor-in-chief of China Jouranal of Acocunting Studies (an international researech journal of the Accounting Society of China)  and have been an associate editor or editorial board member for several other international journals. I have also maintained close ties with accounting professional bodies. In particular, I was a member of the Research Committee of ACCA from 2005 to 2011. I am the founding director of Centre for China Business Research at Cardiff University.
