Welcome — I'm Muhammad Syukur
I'm an Assistant Professor at a university in northern Thailand, where I teach and research at the intersection of accounting and governance. My work focuses on corporate governance, tax avoidance, and how accounting education can better prepare the next generation of professionals.
I hold a PhD and am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA, UK) — credentials that shape both my research and how I approach teaching.
This site is where I share my research, publications, and reflections from the classroom. Have a look around, and if something resonates, I'd love to connect.
