Against the backdrop of many reported cases of corporate misdemeanors and the need for companies to be sustainability conscious and responsive, my research focuses on the value accounting numbers, as reported in the corporate annual report, have for the investors, restoration of the lost investors&#8217; confidence through sustainability reporting, role of audit quality in enhancing financial reporting quality and the role of technology in achieving these objectives. I have an appreciable number of publications (National and Foreign) including book chapters in this regard.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A native of Kwara State, Dr. Ajape is a fellow (FCA) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), a Graduate member of the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM), and recently, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa.
