I am an Associate Professor of Accounting at Salem State University, Massachusetts, USA. I am Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certified and hold a Ph.D. in Accounting from the University of Essex, England, United Kingdom. My objective is to partner my undergraduate and graduate classes with business partners, so that I can provide experiential learning opportunities to my students in the areas of accounting and data analytics. Such mini-internships would give all my students, not just a select few, the opportunity to solve a problem for an actual business entity and develop communication and time management skills.

Management/Cost Accounting Projects
ACC 202, ACC 306, ACC 800, and ACC 106 (optional)
Does your organization have a management accounting challenge you want to tackle? In this project, student-consultants working in teams will apply their accounting skills in managerial decision-making towards a challenge in the areas of planning and controlling operations pertinent to your organization. Areas assessed might include cost terminology and behavior, break-even analysis, relevant costs, master budgeting with an emphasis on cash flows and income projection, responsibility accounting systems, and variance analysis. The students may develop a report for your organization upon completion of the project and/or do a Zoom presentation with their findings.
Financial Accounting Project
ACC 710 (graduate)
Students can analyze accounting transactions (via debits and credits), prepare income statements, statements of retained earnings, and balance sheets. They learn about the accounting cycle (analyzing business transactions, recording them in the general journal, posting to the general ledger, making adjustments to account balances, preparing financial statements, and closing some accounts). They can do this manually. Students also know about financial ratios and they can analyze financial statements. We study about environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibility of business to society and the planet (via non-financial disclosures). We study US GAAP, but we are open to exploring IFRS accounting rules.
Forensic Accounting - Fall 2024
ACC 350
Does your organization have a data security/audit/forensic accounting challenge you want to tackle? In this project, student-consultants working in teams will apply their accounting and decision-making skills to help your organization.
Managerial Accounting Project - Fall 2024
Acc 202
Does your organization have a cost accounting challenge you want to tackle? In this project, student-consultants working in teams will apply their knowledge of the concept and characteristics of cost with specific emphasis on decision-making situations that require working with accounting information toward the solution of an issue of your choice. They will explore the application of costs to process, job order and standard cost accounting systems. Concepts such as activity-based costing, just-in-time inventory systems and material requirements planning are also covered. The students will develop a written report and virtual presentation for your organization upon completion of the project.
