Prior to pursuing a doctorate, Mark spent several years working at a “Big 4” accounting firm, auditing clients in the banking and capital markets, insurance, and wealth and asset management sectors. He's worked across multiple jurisdictions, including the UK, Channel Islands, and Luxembourg, accruing a plethora of experience with IFRS, FRS 102, and LuxGAAP financial reporting standards.
