Her research focuses on management accounting, particularly management control systems, inter-organisational relations, and institutional analysis. She investigates how institutional complexity affects control practices within inter-organisational networks, with a regional focus on Sub-Saharan Africa. Her doctoral research explored institutionally complex environments and their impact on management controls.

Her recent publications examine institutional logics, social identities, and agency in forming inter-organisational relationships in Africa, as well as critical perspectives on budgetary control systems in multinational retail organizations in the UK. These works reflect a strong interest in critical accounting, organizational control, and the socio-political dimensions of management practices.

Dr Rozenfeld teaches in the areas of accounting and finance, including modules such as Advanced Management Accounting, Decision Making and Control, and BSc Accounting and Finance.

She has collaborated with prominent scholars such as Robert Scapens and has published in respected journals like Critical Perspectives on Accounting. Her research is supported by a strong academic foundation and practical experience gained as a semi-senior accountant prior to her academic career.

She is actively involved in research dissemination through the university’s research portal and holds an ORCID ID, reflecting her ongoing scholarly engagement.
