Dr Steven Wynne

After graduating with a First Class Honours degree in Mathematics and Philosophy at the University of Liverpool, Steve went on to become ACA qualified in 1999, training in the business assurance section of Ernst and Young. He then completed an MA in Philosophy before entering the educational environment. Since joining MMU in 2004, Steve has completed a PhD, an MSc in Mathematics, an MRes in Business and Management and a PGCE in Higher Education. The focus of Steve’s MRes research was the professionalisation of the financial planning sector, and in completing the research he worked closely with professional bodies and financial advisers, as well as with relevant trade organisations. The results of this research were presented to local financial planning network meetings.   Steve’s PhD research explored a social constructionist, micro-discursive analysis of the rhetorical arguments used to legitimate the long term incentive plan remuneration awarded to company executives.  Steve’s focus for teaching is research methods, strategic management accounting and wealth management.  He has delivered management accounting and wealth management courses over many years, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.  Steve has also been Chief Examiner for Wealth Management for a professional body in the financial services sector, as well as External Reviewer in the recent validation of a PG masters degree in wealth management at another UK HE institution.
