About David Moore

David R. Moore commenced employment as a lecturer in Accounting with Victoria University in February 2010. Since then he has undertaken teaching responsibilities in Financial Accounting, Social and Environmental Accounting, Management Control Systems and Accounting for Decision Making. He has also undertaken administrative responsibilities such as course and unit coordination.

Prior to joining Victoria University, David held positions at the University of Sydney, the University of Tasmania and RMIT University. He has lectured in Management and Financial Accounting as well as Social and Environmental Accounting, along with administrative responsibilities.

David R. Moore's research and teaching interests include public-sector accounting and sustainability accounting, in particular environmental management accounting, environmental management systems, accounting for emissions trading schemes (ETS) and therefore carbon accounting. Research papers on these topics have been presented at local and international refereed conferences and published in Critical Perspectives on Accounting, Management Accounting Research and Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal.

David recently completed a PhD on Carbon Pricing Policy Development in Australia, with a particular focus on the unsuccessful attempt to introduce an ETS known as the carbon pollution reduction scheme (CPRS) in 2009. This was undertaken through La Trobe University under the supervision of Professor Ken McPhail.
