It was confirmed to me yesterday that I have been appointed as a visiting professor at the University of Sheffield's Management School working primarily on accounting related issues and the development of sustainable cost accounting.
I already have an ESRC funded research project in progress with Prof Adam Leaver at Sheffield on financial engineering, its impact on financial reporting and consequent productivity-related issues. I am also working on new project development involving both Sheffield and Copenhagen Business School.
The appointment will last for three years.
I will be leaving my post as Professor of Practice in International Political Economy at City, University of London this summer. This is currently part-time.
I continue to be a visiting professor at Anglia Ruskin University Global Sustainability Institute.
Thanks for reading this post.

Well, congratulations on the appointment but also getting the fundamental first steps to the legitimation (is that the word?) of SCA underway and good luck.
It will take time…
If I see you coming through Derby sometime, I will give you wave.
Train from here to Sheffield does not go that way…
[…] At the same time as this has been happening there is clear evidence that companies have been paying out their earnings as fast as they can. This is the issue I am looking at with Prof Adam Leaver at the University of Sheffield right now. […]
Congratulations on the appointment!
Thanks
Presumably ‘non-visiting professor’ for the time being :-), but congratulations.
Indeed, and technically unpaid – this is zero hours in effect
I get paid when we raise funds
Congratulations Richard. Good to see that you are keeping up your good work. The changes needed in financial reporting will be a long haul, but – hey- it has taken a pandemic to get MMT accepted.
Indeed….
I think accounting is ripe for change
Congratulations. Our paths may yet cross – when you visit the glorious Botanical Gardens?
I admit, I won’t be visiting much….
The role is to work in research teams, usually remotely, and on the impact angles, in the main (but not entirely)
Congratulations, Richard. You’re well on your way to becoming part of the HE establishment now 😉
Bizarrely (and I am sure much to the chagrin of Tim Worstall) at this moment I seem to have three professorships…but it won’t last
Anything that causes chagrin to Tim Worst(of)all has got to be good news
I force myself to look at the CapX newsletters but can rarely cope with reading the detail. They do at least provide a reference point and regular reminder of so much that is wrong
I subscribe to the CapX letter, but like you rarely read beyond the headlines
It is predictable in its crass interpretations
Well done Richard – good to see your work valued.
I’m sure they will have read your blogs, so they’ll know what they are taking on!
Congratulations, Richard.
Sheffield have made an excellent appointment there, in keeping with their cutting edge thinking in many fields.
And what a time to do it.
With an ideologically challenged government and BoE currently trying to hide behind appearances , in the hope of keeping a disintegrating system on the road, bold thinkers are much needed.
Keep up the good work!
Congratulations and welcome to Sheffield so to speak.
Thanks
Congratulations Richard. I am sure you and your colleagues will do well.
We can hope…
Delighted to hear but even the most prolific and outspoken accountant cannot live by approval, funding must follow. Keep up the excellent work Richard, your instincts are spot on.
We have some funding now…
We’ll keep going
Congratulations! Recognition from a very good university, and a good stable contract, valuable these days 🙂
It’s only paid if I help raise the funds….
The technical salary is zero…
This is the reality these days
While the right wing think tanks can get hold of hundreds of thousands and with little transparency about who is funding them.
Indeed…
Welcome to Sheffield Richard. I know you will rarely visit but congratulations anyway. We need a voice of sanity here with a Council ruling with little or no regard for openness in its dealings and its two universities operating without effective public scrutiny.
I hope your presence will open up the economics department to dynamic thinking. So much of what goes on is hidden in an inscrutable layer of beuracracy where individuals seem in fear of speaking out.
Good luck.
There is no plan that I teach….
..……………..well I’ll still wave anyway, Derby or not………………because I want to, so there.
OK….
🙂
Congratulations! Will there be any time to spare for blogging and, if so, how do you manage to get so much crammed into each day?
I think the blogging is key to my appeal
I promise you everything fits in
And the clue to the productivity is working out in advance what I want to achieve, so that most work is mind-mapped before writing, for example. That way I tend not to have to rewrite. The time saving is enormous.
