Ms Helenne Doody

Profile

After a long career in forensic accounting, focusing on fraud investigation, fraud and enterprise risk management and sustainability in both the UK and Australia, Helenne joined LUBS as a Senior Teaching Fellow in 2018. Her research interests stemmed from her professional career, including accounting education, in which she has extensive experience in awareness and education strategies at institutions such as Barclays. She also worked as an internal auditor at Tesco before joining the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) as a technical specialist, where she focused on fraud risk management, responsible business and sustainability.

Whilst at CIMA, she became recognised in the sector for her expertise. She was involved in producing numerous publications and was invited to speak at conferences and events. Helenne edited a book on Fraud Risk Management and had a chapter published in a book on Managing Climate Risk. She was also cited in various publications, including the Financial Times, Excellence in Leadership, Finance Director and Sustainability Today. On leaving CIMA, she consulted for the ICAEW on a short-term Sustainability project and then moved into the banking sector, working in the Fraud Risk team at Barclays for eight years.

A Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants England & Wales (ICAEW), Helenne is Head of Final Year for Accounting & Finance undergraduate students and works as an Academic Personal Tutor and Work Placement Tutor. She primarily teaches financial and management accounting, forensic accounting and commercial skills subjects at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
