As if to highlight the slightly perverse twists that life can throw up, on the same day that I am involved in launching the Accounting Streams<\/a> project that represents a new approach to undergraduate accounting education, I also have to advise that I will be retiring as Professor of Accounting Practice at Sheffield University Management School<\/a> at the end of February.<\/p>\n

I have mentioned more than once during the course of this autumn that I had reached the point of feeling overstretched more often than I would wish for and felt that this was no longer desirable. I have, as a result, been in discussion with the University and once my work on producing a series of educational videos on tax transparency that I have primarily written and which are being produced in association with both the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency<\/a> and the International Budget Partnership<\/a>, comes to a close at around the time that I\u2019ve indicated that my retirement will take place, I think it will be time to bring my employment in academia to a close.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, during the next month or so, I will also be concluding other work that I have been engaged in for some time with Copenhagen Business School on developing thinking around sustainable cost accounting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That having been said, I have assured my colleagues that I am not disappearing entirely. There is work in progress on a number of academic papers and more to do on Accounting Streams, so it is my expectation that I will keep up ties with Sheffield but in a different role.<\/p>\n

The good news, as far as I am concerned, is that I will have no further responsibility for any admin or compliance with admin procedures, none of which I much enjoy. Nor will I now be willing to take the lead on any academic work, as I have been doing. This will be the biggest change.<\/p>\n

None of this will change my commitment to this blog or to the production of videos. If anything, once the pretty heavy work agenda that I have been engaged in this year reduces, I might look at producing more social media content, and we are developing ideas on how to do that.<\/p>\n

There is, however, one idea that I previously discussed that I very much doubt I will pursue at present. When social media content can reach so many people, I am not convinced that writing another book is a good use of my time right now, and as a consequence, doing that is on hold for the time being, although that might change once I have had a chance to take just a little bit of a break next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
