				Peter Mayall 
				
				Peter Mayall is a lecturer in finance at the 
				Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Western Australia. His 
				primary qualification was in Chartered Accounting and he worked 
				in this capacity in his early career in Africa, the Middle East 
				and the UK until he found that all that has been said about 
				accountants was true.    
				
				He then moved to Australia and changed to the 
				finance industry, being involved in the assessment and funding 
				of capital projects. He joined academia in 1993 and lectures in 
				corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions and financial 
				decision making.    
				
				His research interests include the topics of 
				mergers, agency issues and the teaching of finance. He has 
				published in the area of the teaching of finance. 
				   
				
				His interests include scuba diving, bicycling, 
				mountain trekking and TV channel surfing. He does as much 
				boating as his job and bank balance allows.
