Biography

Thomas graduated from the University of Münster, Germany, specializing in Auditing and Corporate Finance. He obtained his MPhil and PhD from Manchester Business School. His main research interests lie in corporate communication, narratives, trading updates, and management forecasts. Thomas serves on the editorial board of the British Accounting Review and has been involved in securing various ESRC grants. He is actively welcoming PhD applications in areas such as corporate disclosure and market-based accounting research. His significant contributions include working papers that explore the comparison of manual and automated measures of tone in interim management statements, as well as the muted market response to company news due to perceived credibility issues. Thomas's research has gained notable attention, as evidenced by citations from the Securities and Exchange Commission in relation to interim management statements and their implications for future quarterly reporting.
