Dr James Brackley serves as a Lecturer in Accounting within the Accounting & Finance department at the Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow. His academic work centers on critical accounting, with a focus on public sector finance, auditing practices, and the societal implications of accounting systems.
Brackley's research interests include public sector accounting, auditing in Big-4 firms, economic inequality, and public value. He applies critical theory to investigate how accounting practices influence policy-making, organizational behavior, and social justice, particularly in contexts of austerity and institutional crisis.
His recent publications (2020-2025) reveal consistent engagement with real-world challenges including local government bankruptcy (e.g., Birmingham City Council), public health interventions, and junior auditor dynamics in large firms. His work frequently appears in journals like Critical Perspectives on Accounting and Public Money & Management, alongside contributions to the Handbook of Accounting in Society.
There is no publicly available information regarding PhD students supervised by Brackley or specific grant funding. However, he actively collaborates with researchers including Stewart Smyth and Charika Channuntapipat on critical accounting projects.
Brackley is affiliated with the Adam Smith Business School's accounting research group, contributing to discourse on accounting's societal role. While specific laboratory structures are not detailed, his work intersects with public policy initiatives through analyses of institutional risk and crisis management.
