Ruth D Hines

Ruth Dianne Hines also "Ruth Diana Hines" (?? – ) was an Australian Accounting academic at Macquarie University from 1978 to 1994, part of the Alternative or Critical Perspectives on Accounting movement. She is best known for her 1988 paper, "Financial Accounting: in Communicating Reality, We Construct Reality". Google Scholar currently shows this cited more than 250 times, comparing well to the 1100+ of "Ball and Brown" 1968 paper, winner of the inaugral "Seminal Paper".

Dr. Hines left Academe behind to write Poetry and Children's Books after gaining her PhD.

While a lecturer at Macquarie University, her PhD was supervised by Prof. Kenneth Peasnell of Lancaster University Management School (LUMS).

Her 1996 piece "Net profit is a God", is a poem from her PhD Disertation and was invited for a special edition of AAAJ. It only appears in the printed version of the journal.

She appears to have moved and not contacted friends and ex-colleagues since 2005.
