Dr Amrinder Khosa is a passionate educator and active researcher. He believes in creating an active learning environment that supports and nurtures student learning. Dr Khosa has worked in the higher education sector for over 12 years, with a predominant focus on teaching financial and management accounting courses. Prior to joining University of Tasmania, he worked at Monash University and La Trobe University. With strong links to and involvement with industry, he not only supports students to prepare for industry careers, he also communicates the role of accounting to a broader business environment and community through scholarly activities.

Dr Khosa completed his PhD thesis in 2015, examining “Ownership structure, related-party transactions and firm valuation: evidence from Indian business groups”. His thesis examined the effect of ownership structure and disclosure of related-party transactions (RPTs) on firm valuation of group-affiliated firms in India. His work contributes to the extant literature by recording distinct valuation of RPTs involving group-member firms from similar transactions involving subsidiary/ holding firms and providing evidence on the role of pyramid structures in understanding the valuation of RPTs. The quality of the work is evident as it has been published in the highly reputable Cambridge University Press.

Dr Khosa has developed a strong passion for disseminating pedagogical knowledge and advancing education focused research. His contribution is evidenced by recent journal publications in high impact research outlets. For example, he has published in The British Accounting Review and Accounting & Finance. His published research: contributes new insights into how a desire for certainty related to performance outcomes is affecting doctoral education in business disciplines internationally; and redresses the under-theorisation of the supervision relationship as a pedagogic practice. A proven track record of high-quality research in the higher-degree research environment broadly advances educational research scholarship and contributes to realising University of Tasmania’s strategic vision to achieve a global impact in research and education.
