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.

Financial Accounting Project
ACC 106
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. Students also study about the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibility of business to society and the planet (via non-financial disclosures). The class studies US GAAP, but we are open to exploring IFRS accounting rules, as well. The instructor plans to also include in this project a class from another US university or a foreign university.
