Professor Salma Ibrahim

About

I received my undergraduate degree in accounting from Helwan University, Egypt and went on to earn a Masters degree in accounting from Syracuse University and a PhD in accounting from the University of Maryland. I have previously taught at Dominican University in Chicago and Morgan State University in Maryland. I moved from the US to the UK and took up a position at Kingston University in 2010.

I am currently the research lead in the department and an advocate of research-informed teaching which is the core of Kingston University teaching. I teach Market-based Accounting, Financial Reporting and Research Methods at the postgraduate level. I also supervise PhD students in topics related to earnings management and disclosure.

I established the 'Accountability, Governance and the Capital Market Research Hub' in 2016 along with colleagues in the department and have been director since 2016. The hub works on projects related to accountability, governance and financial reporting in the capital market setting.

I am currently Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Accounting Research and Journal of Financial Reporting and Accounting. I am also a committee member of the EAA publications committee for a three-year term ending in 2026.
