Parmod Chand

Parmod Chand serves as a full-time Associate Professor in the Department of Accounting and Corporate Governance at Macquarie University, specializing in international accounting research across Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Fiji, and Papua New Guinea. His influential work appears in premier journals including The European Accounting Review (A*), International Journal of Auditing (A), and Journal of International Accounting Research (A), with recognition through Edward Elgar Publishing's commission to develop the Encyclopedia of International Accounting.

Chand's core research spans Financial Reporting, International Accounting, Auditing, Corporate Governance, Corporate Sustainability, and Accounting Education. His investigations focus on contextual factors affecting accounting standards adoption, particularly examining how cultural pressures, SME frameworks, and IFRS ambiguity influence auditor judgments and financial reporting quality across diverse regulatory environments.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal persistent emphasis on two-tier accounting standards implementation, with thematic exploration of IFRS for SMEs, group decision-making dynamics in accounting, and cross-cultural convergence challenges. These works employ mixed methodologies analyzing auditor behavior under social pressures and standard ambiguities, contributing to global understanding of accounting practice variations.
