Teaching and Supervision

Teaching Statement

I am an enthusiastic, confident and approachable teacher. My primary objective in any class is to make complex concepts simple and understandable by my students; encourage students to think critically and assist them to learn from the study materials, myself the teacher and their fellow students. I endeavour to set a positive tone that focuses on student success and encourage students’ engagement in the course involved. I enjoy teaching and have had the benefit of seeing my students grow from novices of complex accounting problems, to prolific problem solvers in the various courses I have taught. The opportunity to see this is a great privilege that I treasure and work assiduously to attain. 

Contact Supervisor

Graduate Supervision Statement

I am available and pleased to work with PhD students and assist them in achieving their research objectives. My research areas which include financial accounting and reporting, auditing, public sector accounting and accounting in emerging markets are interesting, topical and have great potential for accounting doctoral students to research. I endeavour to give time and energy to my students and have a very open-door policy to students' concerns and assist with challenges through the PhD journey.  I have received many positive feedbacks about my approach to supervision and would welcome opportunities to supervise new PhD candidates. 


Dr Dimu Ehalaiye is available for Masters and Doctorial supervision.
