O autorze

Dr Jill Collis, BA (Hons), PhD, has a business background. Her subsequent experience as a mature student gave her considerable insight into the needs of students and those who teach them, which is reflected in her writing. She started her academic career as a research associate in the Small Business Research Centre at Kingston University London in 1998. From 2010 to 2019 she was Reader (Associate Professor) in Accounting at Brunel University London, where she was the founding director of the Accounting and Auditing Research Centre. Jill’s research has contributed to the ‘think small first’ approach in UK company law and policy on better regulation to reduce burdens on smaller entities. Internationally, she is recognised as a leading scholar on the financial reporting and auditing needs of small and micro-companies. In 2015 she received the Best Supervisor Award from the Union of Brunel Students and an award from Brunel’s College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the student experience.
