Professor Salma Ibrahim

About

I received my undergraduate degree in accounting from Helwan University, Egypt and went on to earn a Masters degree in accounting from Syracuse University and a PhD in accounting from the University of Maryland. I have previously taught at Dominican University in Chicago and Morgan State University in Maryland. I moved from the US to the UK and took up a position at Kingston Universityin 2010.

I am currently the research lead in the department and an advocate of research-informed teaching which is the core of Kingston Universityteaching. I teach Market-based Accounting, Financial Reporting and Research Methods at the postgraduate level. I also supervise PhD students in topics related to earnings management and disclosure.

I established the 'Accountability, Governance and the Capital Market Research Hub' in 2016 along with colleagues in the department and have been director since 2016. The hub works on projects related to accountability, governance and financial reporting in the capital market setting.

I am currently Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Accounting Research and Journal of Financial Reporting and Accounting. I am also a committee member of the EAA publications committee for a three-year term ending in 2026.

Research

My research lies mainly in the financial reporting area, and specifically in earnings management. My PhD dissertation dealt with improving models that detect earnings management by firms. My research also deals with litigation and executive compensation and how they relate to earnings management behaviour. I have publications in several top accounting and finance journals, including the British Accounting Review, the Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, the Journal of Accounting and Public Policy, the Corporate Governance Journal, and  the Accounting Research Journal. I have presented my research at several national and international conferences including those in the UK (British Academy of Finance and Accounting annual conference), Europe (European Accounting Association annual conference) and the US (American Accounting Association annual conference).
