 Profile picture

Biographie

Albert received his Ph.D. in Accounting from the City University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong), his Master of Management Science (Accounting) degree from Xiamen University (China), and his Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting & Finance) degree from the University of Cape Coast (Ghana). Before his academic appointment at HEC, Albert worked as a principal research assistant and course instructor at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. He has also previously worked in the corporate setting (in Ghana) as a hotel accounts officer and acting accountant and currently serves as a financial accounting consultant (in France), board member (in Hong Kong) and managing director (inter absentes) to a Ghanaian tech-based startup. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), a Chartered Economist (Ch.E) and a Chartered Financial Economist (Ch.FE).

Albert teaches the Financial Accounting course on the MBA program and has been recently included on Poets&Quants' list of "Top 10 MBA Professors to Watch in 2022," as well as Poets&Quants' list of "2023 Best 40-Under-40 MBA Professors."  As regards his research activities, Albert conducts archival financial empirical research, investigating: (i) how firms' mandatory reporting and/or disclosure policies affect the decision-making behavior of capital market participants; (ii) how anti-corruption laws that seek to limit the influence of money in politics affect the behavior of firms and politicians; (iii) how capital market participants (e.g., investors [including asset managers], creditors, analysts, suppliers) are making use of alternative sources of financial data (e.g., big data) in their decision-making; (iv) how machine learning tools can help flag firms that are likely suspects of earnings manipulation; and (v) how discrimination in the mortgage lending market can be alleviated. Away from research, he is a tennis fanatic.
