Md Tarikul Islam, PhD

Biography:

I am an Associate Professor of Accounting at Al Yamamah University. I have been in academia since 2008 and worked for universities in the United Kingdom, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Bangladesh. I hold a PhD in Accountancy from the Queensland University of Technology (Australia) and have studied master's degree programs in multiple European countries, including Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands, and France.

I am an interdisciplinary researcher across the research domains of accountability, sustainable development goals (SDGs), and social entrepreneurship. Within the broader domain of social and environmental accounting, I am passionate about studying corporate and public accountability in my effort to contribute toward social capital development. It always delights me when I can be a voice for the voiceless through my research. Hence, rather than focusing on the quantity of papers, through my research, I am keen to add my two cents to the positive changes in society. My papers have been published in the Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal, Journal of Business Ethics, Annals of Operations Research, Marine Policy, and Meditari Accountancy Research.

Beyond academia, my effort continues to become a humane human being. I work or have worked with multiple non-profits trying to remove social inequality or help the unprivileged part of society. This is a personal space to create happiness for myself and others, and I am open to collaboration on this.
