Life and career

Annisette was born in Trinidad and Tobago. She studied industrial management at the University of the West Indies and then moved to the United Kingdom to study accounting at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, graduating in 1993 with a Master of Science in accounting and finance. She pursued her doctoral education at the University of Manchester, graduating with her PhD in accounting in 1996. [1] Her dissertation examined imperialism in the accounting profession. [2]

After holding positions at the University of the West Indies, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and Howard University Business School, she became an associate professor at the Schulich School of Business in Toronto in 2005. [1] She was promoted to Full Professor in 2019

In 2009, Annisette was appointed co-editor-in-chief of Critical Perspectives on Accounting. [1] In 2018, she relinquished that position to become co-editor-in-chief of Accounting, Organizations and Society. [3] [4]

Annisette is an editorial board member for several journals in her field, including Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal , [5] Journal of Accounting & Organizational Change, [6] Journal of Accounting in Emerging Economies, [7] Research in Accounting in Emerging Economies, [8] and Qualitative Research in Accounting & Management. [9]

In 2023, Annisette was awarded the title of University Professor by York University. [10]

Research

Annisette's research interests centre on the social organization of the accounting profession, specifically "the manner in which national bases of social exclusion such as religion, social class, race, nationality or immigration status, interact with professional structures to achieve professional closure." [11]

Annisette's most cited paper [12] examines the relationship between imperialism and the establishment of the accounting profession in Trinidad and Tobago. The paper shows how the interests of the UK accounting profession and of local elite members of the Trinidadian accounting profession came together to ensure the dominance of the British-based Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in accounting education and certification in Trinidad and Tobago, contrary to the interests of those who wished to develop a more independent national accountancy training program. [13]

Her later research has explored issues of race in the accounting profession and the influence of globalization and transnational institutions on the profession. [1]

Accounting, also known as accountancy, is the process of recording and processing information about economic entities, such as businesses and corporations. Accounting measures the results of an organization's economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of stakeholders, including investors, creditors, management, and regulators. Practitioners of accounting are known as accountants. The terms "accounting" and "financial reporting" are often used interchangeably.

An accountant is a practitioner of accounting or accountancy. Accountants who have demonstrated competency through their professional associations' certification exams are certified to use titles such as Chartered Accountant, Chartered Certified Accountant or Certified Public Accountant, or Registered Public Accountant. Such professionals are granted certain responsibilities by statute, such as the ability to certify an organization's financial statements, and may be held liable for professional misconduct. Non-qualified accountants may be employed by a qualified accountant, or may work independently without statutory privileges and obligations.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Financial audit</span> Type of audio

A financial audit is conducted to provide an opinion whether "financial statements" are stated in accordance with specified criteria. Normally, the criteria are international accounting standards, although auditors may conduct audits of financial statements prepared using the cash basis or some other basis of accounting appropriate for the organization. In providing an opinion whether financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting standards, the auditor gathers evidence to determine whether the statements contain material errors or other misstatements.

Chartered accountants were the first accountants to form a professional accounting body, initially established in Scotland in 1854. The Edinburgh Society of Accountants (1854), the Glasgow Institute of Accountants and Actuaries (1854) and the Aberdeen Society of Accountants (1867) were each granted a royal charter almost from their inception. The title is an internationally recognised professional designation; the certified public accountant designation is generally equivalent to it. Women were able to become chartered accountants only following the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 after which, in 1920, Mary Harris Smith was recognised by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and became the first woman chartered accountant in the world.
