I have my a degree in accounting from  Syiah Kuala  University,  master in accounting from Gadjah Mada University and master in Cooperative from Padjajaran University.  My doctorate studies at  Padjajaran University  were sponsored by a scholarship from  DIKTI.  My PhD research was in the area of budget participation, fairness  and goal commitment. Prior to joining  Syiah Kuala University  I had  an auditor at Hasbuh and Basri  Public Accountant  Firm.  I am currently  managing editor of Journal of Accounting and Business Dynamics  and I have reviewed papers for a number of national  academic journals. I have also been member of  Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IAI). My  current research  interests focus on  behavior accounting.   management accounting and  financial accounting . I also have research papers in public sector and governance.  I am currently looking into building a network of  researchers with a view of deriving a framework for mapping the findings from  accounting behavior   into academic theory and practice.
