Keith holds an honours degree in Economics and became a Fellow of the Institute Chartered of Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) in January 1983.
He taught in London at the London School of Accountancy and Emile Woolf College and at the University of Essex until he came to Asia in early 1994 where he has based in Asia ever since.
His specialist subject is Financial Accounting. He has conducted courses for both students and practitioners in many parts of the world, including the UK, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kenya, and Mauritius for both private colleges and The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. His students have consistently won numerous prizes in the ACCA examinations.
Whilst Keith is justifiably proud of individual student performance, his key aim is to convey a fundamental understanding of the basic principles and concepts which underlie financial accounting and a detailed knowledge and application of the requirements of accounting standards. This is based on the three core principles of education: instruction, demostration and experience. Understanding is important, in fact it is a prerequisite to developing the level of knowledge required to sit examinations with confidence and inspires individuals to achive far more than they ever expected in far less time than they ever anticipated.
In furtherance of achieving his aim, Keith has recently embarked upon a three point strategy. Firstly, he has written a series of books, primarily aimed at students, covering consolidation and accounting standards which contain numerous progressive worked examples. Secondly, he is currently engaged in developing a series of DVD's which, together with the books, will form an integral part of a new co-ordinated learning package. Finally, in the near future, this learning package will be extended to a structured continuing professional development programme.
