Professor David HealdAbout Myself |
|
 I am Professor of Accountancy at the University of Aberdeen
Business School, University of
Aberdeen, where I previously held a Chair from April 1990 to August
2003. Recently, I was Professor of Financial Management at The University
of Sheffield Management School, where I was also Head of the Accounting &
Financial Management Division (2003-2006) and Associate Dean (2005-2007). On leaving Sheffield, I was appointed as Visiting Professor of Financial Management
(until 2013) in the
Management School. My research interests focus on the following: public sector accounting
reform; public expenditure management and control; financing devolved
governments; and economic regulation of business. In these areas, I also
have extensive policy involvement. I
have published an edited book (Transparency: The Key to Better
Governance?) with Christopher Hood (Gladstone Professor of
Government, All Souls College, Oxford) on the more general relevance
of 'transparency' to public policy. In
academic year 2010-11 I am on research leave, thanks to a Royal
Society of Edinburgh/Scottish Government Support Research
Fellowship, which allows me to concentrate on my research:
the project title is 'Improving the quality of public
expenditure' .
