About

Trisha Ahmed joined North South University (NSU) as a Lecturer in the Department of Accounting & Finance in 2014. She holds an MSc in International Money and Banking from the University of Birmingham, where she also served as a teaching assistant, and a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Commerce from Monash University with a double major in Banking & Finance and Accounting. Prior to joining NSU, she worked in the Financial Control Department of HSBC Bangladesh in the Financial Reporting and Regulation team.

Her research examines how financial innovation, transparency, and organizational diversity influence economic resilience and sustainability. She has studied mobile technology and nano loans in advancing financial inclusion in Bangladesh, web‑based disclosure in reducing default risk in Japan, and the role of diversity in lowering global carbon emissions. Currently, she is expanding this work to explore how artificial intelligence and digital finance tools can strengthen inclusion, risk management, and sustainable banking practices.

Her research interests include bank management and regulation, financial inclusion and innovation, and artificial intelligence in finance.

At NSU, she teaches courses such as Introduction to Financial Accounting, Introduction to Financial Management, Introduction to Managerial Accounting, and Bank Management.

Research Interests

My research examines how financial innovation, transparency, and organizational diversity shape both economic and environmental outcomes. I have studied mobile technology and nano loans in advancing financial inclusion in Bangladesh, web‑based disclosure in mitigating default risk in Japan, and the role of diversity in reducing global carbon emissions.

Currently, I am expanding this work to explore how artificial intelligence and digital finance tools can enhance efficiency, inclusion, and risk management. I also investigate how sustainable banking practices and inclusive governance foster resilience and environmental responsibility. My long‑term goal is to contribute to scholarship and policy that bridges financial innovation with equitable and sustainable development.
