Anna Ni Chinseallaigh

Biography

Anna is a PhD candidate in Sustainable Finance in Trinity Business School. Her research interests include the participation of management accountants in sustainability accounting and reporting, the changing role and identities of accountants, and the integration of sustainability reporting practices into organisations.

Prior to beginning her doctoral studies in 2024, she achieved a First Class Honours degree in Business Studies and French at Trinity College Dublin. Her capstone project, written entirely through French, analysed the environmental and international strategies of a French multinational in the construction industry, some of which has led to the beginnings of her research interests now. She achieved a First Class Honours every year in her degree, including on her Erasmus year in France. She was also awarded an Entrance Exhibition Award at the beginning of her time at Trinity.

Upon graduation, she secured a managerial position at an international company where she worked in the marketing department and previously worked as an intern in KPMG’s Financial Services Tax department in Dublin.

Anna has been awarded Teaching Excellence Awards from Trinity Business School each year for her undergraduate teaching in accounting and finance. She was recently awarded a university-wide Trinity Teaching Award for Postgraduate Students.

After growing up on a farm, she developed a passion for nature and the great outdoors from a young age. This passion is her main inspiration behind contributing to research on the role of accounting and business in sustainability.
