amalbhusan@yahoo.com; amal.nag@puc.ac.bdI started my teaching career in 1966 and taught at two
colleges prior to joining the University of Chittagong as Senior Lecturer in
Commerce in 1968. I obtained the degree of MBA of the University of British
Columbia (Canada) in 1975 on a Commonwealth Scholarship. I was appointed
Associate Professor in 1976 and Professor 1982 in the Department of Accounting.
In 1978, I visited Tree University in Singapore and Malaysia on a fellowship of
the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) to study the business
education system at those universities. In 1988 I received a Development
Fellowship of the ACU to study the implementation of international accounting
standards by the companies in India. In 1989 I visited a number of universities
in USA under BMET project of the World Bank. In 1998 I received a Senior Fulbright
Fellowship and worked as a Visiting Scholar for nine months at the University
of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Campus, USA. During my teaching career at the
University of Chittagong I attended many workshops, and presented papers at
many conferences at home and abroad. My papers were published in journals in
Bangladesh and abroad. I retired from the University of Chittagong in 2020 and
again served the same University as Supernumerary Professor of Accounting for
two years (2015-2017). I joined the Premier University as Professor in the
