She had her research in these topics presented in main academic conferences in Europe and in the US. Her most recent forthcoming publication studies how national culture is associated with voluntary operational risk disclosure quality in the European Union banking industry and how this association is affected by the formal institutional environment and banks’ degree of internationalization. Her teaching background lies in the fields of accounting, corporate financial reporting, financial statement analysis and research methods. She supervises master students’ projects and dissertations. Prior to pursuing academia, Florence worked as a capital markets’ analyst in the banking industry in Portugal and a planning and control, and afterwards, business development senior analyst in the telecom industry in Brazil. She founded and managed her own company and worked in business development for online retailers. She currently collaborates with companies as a Supervisory Board member.
