Dr Suzana Grubnic
Senior Lecturer in Management Accounting
Suzana joined Loughborough University’s School of Business and Economics as Senior Lecturer in Management Accounting in October 2011. She previously held an academic position at the University of Nottingham for ten years.
Her research interests are in the areas of (a) sustainability accounting and accountability, (b) performance management in the public sector, (c) e-government and partnership working, and (d) the private finance initiative. Her research has been funded by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), The British Academy, and the British Accounting Association Special Interest Group on Public Services Accounting.
Suzana has recently co-edited a Special Issue of Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal with Professor Markus Milne on Climate Change, Greenhouse Gas Accounting, Auditing and Accountability. Works on understanding the uncertainties, challenges and complexities involved in accounting for greenhouse gases feature in volume 24, issue 8 (2011) and volume 25, issue 1 (2012) of the journal.
Current work-in-progress on sustainability draws from a CIMA-funded project and the Prince of Wales Accounting for Sustainability Project. The former project, conducted with Professor Jeremy Moon, Dr Jean-Pascal Gond and Dr Christian Herzig, considers the role of management control in advancing the integration of sustainability within strategy. Findings from these respective projects can be located within CIMA’s Research Executive Summary Series and Accounting for Sustainability: Practical Insights text.
Suzana’s research has been published in various accounting and public administration journals including Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, Financial Accountability & Management and Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory.
