Speaker Biography: Dr Carolyn Cordery is an Associate Professor in the School of Accounting and Commercial Law at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Her research focuses on not for profit organisations’ accounting and accountability, including charities and sports clubs. She is interested in how these organisations are resourced (by donors/philanthropists, grants, contracts, volunteers, etc.) and the resource constraints that cause many of these organisations to be financially vulnerable. As a member of the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board, she is also interested in improving the regulation of, and accounting in, these organisations. Carolyn has researched these issues in New Zealand and with colleagues in the UK and internationally. She is Joint Editor of Third Sector Research, on the editorial board of Accounting History, and the Lotteries Community Sector Research Committee.
