Jane Andrew is a Professor and Head of Discipline at the University of Sydney Business School, specializing in Accounting. She joined the University of Sydney in 2010 after holding various academic positions at the University of Wollongong. Andrew serves as co-editor-in-chief for Critical Perspectives on Accounting (since 2018) and is an Associate Editor for Abacus, with editorial board memberships for several prominent accounting journals.
Professor Andrew's research explores the relationship between accounting information and public policy, with particular focus on climate change accounting, prison privatisation, and neoliberalism. Her work examines how accounting practices influence policy decisions, particularly in areas traditionally managed by governments, including prisons, immigration detention, and environmental regulation. She has made significant contributions to understanding the role of accounting in processes of neoliberalisation and the privatisation of public services.
Her recent publications demonstrate a growing focus on data privacy, surveillance capitalism, and the financialisation of social services. Her work spans critical accounting, political economy, and interdisciplinary research, often collaborating with scholars from law, political science, and criminology. Andrew's research has practical policy implications, as evidenced by her submissions to parliamentary inquiries and engagement with government departments.
Professor Andrew actively supervises PhD students and teaches postgraduate courses including ACCT6001 Intermediate Financial Reporting, ACCT6002 International Accounting, and BUSS4001 Business Honours Research Methods. Her supervision spans diverse topics including accountability in microfinance, time budgeting in consulting firms, and the interplay between accounting practices and architectural design.
Her scholarly impact extends beyond traditional publication through submissions to public inquiries, policy-relevant research reports, and media articles where she actively engages in evidence-based policy discussions with industry and government partners.
