Doctoral research

AI-enabled sustainability accounting

My PhD examines the relationship between artificial intelligence, ESG disclosure quality and corporate governance outcomes in Australian listed firms.

Working research title
“Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Sustainability Accounting, ESG Disclosure Quality, and Corporate Governance Outcomes: Evidence from Australian Listed Firms.”

What I am examining

Three connected areas

These are the public themes of the project. Formal research questions and findings will be published only when they are ready.

01

Technology and reporting

How AI-enabled systems may change the production, analysis and assurance of sustainability information.

02

Disclosure quality

The conditions under which ESG information can be clearer, more comparable and more useful to decision-makers.

03

Governance and oversight

How boards and management teams can oversee AI-assisted reporting with appropriate transparency and accountability.

Why it matters

AI may improve reporting, but it also changes who is accountable for the result.

Companies face growing expectations for credible sustainability information. This research looks at the reporting and governance questions that arise when AI becomes part of that process.
