James Guthrie
James Guthrie is a Professor of Accounting at the University of Sydney and Chair of the Discipline of Accounting. His research and teaching interests include social and environmental reporting and auditing, public sector accounting, auditing, accountability and management, management of knowledge and intellectual capital and the measurement of intangibles. He also consults on public and private sector management, management of knowledge, intellectual capital, budget performance, and annual reporting strategies.
James is a founding member of SMOG. His interest in forming the research network stems from his research in new reporting models and his recognition that traditional financial reporting does not adequately account for intangibles and social and environmental impact.
James has published over 130 articles in both international and national refereed and professional journals, and over 30 chapters in books. He has presented his ideas and research findings to over 280 national and international gatherings. James is also co-editor of seven public sector management and accounting books. He is the co-editor of Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal.
He has previously held posts at the University of New South Wales and Deakin University, prior to taking up his professorship at the Macquarie Graduate School of Management in 1995. Before commencing his academic career, James worked in a chartered accounting firm and has been made a Fellow of the Australian Society of CPAs and a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.
