Verity Greenwood is a research-active academic in the Department of Accounting and Corporate Governance. Her major research interest is in the area of corporate governance, particularly on the rights and equitable treatment of stakeholders, the duty of disclosure and transparency and the equitable allocation of resources. This interest has emanated ongoing research in three particular areas, fraud risk management, health geography and tourism.

Verity's PhD and BA Honours theses research is based in the Human Geography discipline with a particular focus on corporate governance. Her PhD thesis topic is 'Place, Health and Resilience: Widowhood and the Mediating Role of Therapeutic Landscapes'. The thesis is based on corporate governance and the set of processes, customs, policies, laws, and organisations affecting the way a particular institution is directed, administered or controlled. In particular, the nature and extent of accountability in the organisation, its goals and its relationship with its many stakeholders. In this thesis Verity adopted an innovative methodological approach, the heuristic inquiry. The experiences of Police widow/ers social and physical environments, their mobility patterns and the mediating role of the institution of NSW Police Legacy was researched, particularly the potential for Legacy intervention and the nature and extent of accountability in the organization, its goals and its relationship with its many stakeholders. The thesis leads to a number of policy recommendations.

Verity's Honours thesis was an empirical study which explored the economic, social and cultural impacts of globalisation of the Australian funeral industry. Although the funeral industry is the subject service industry, the aim of the thesis was to contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of global economic, social and cultural change through localised processes of development.

Verity's teaching experience at university is varied in disciplinary focus and covers a period of ten years. She was appointed in February, 2009 as Lecturer in the Department of Business Law and now the Department of Accounting and Corporate Governance, Faculty of Business and Economics. Verity has taught a number of units within the Faculty and endeavours to address the Department of Accounting and Corporate Governance's strategic aims for reputation, relevance and resilience.
