Background

About Yahya Skaf

I am currently a PhD holder, Part time faculty member in multiple universities and a CPA holder and practitioner. Developing the students’ own learning skills and motivating their critical thinking was always on the top of my priorities. I choose content and techniques that stimulate the student to actively and continuously participate in material delivery so as to be an active part of the learning process. My professional experience provides a great added value, linking academic content with industry practices drive student to go beyond their comfort zone and feel connected with the real world. My educational and experience background which started with a bachelor and a masters in Finance, followed by another masters in management and topped with PhD in Business Administration, along with a CPA practice and tax auditing experience has provided me with distinguished capabilities and competencies. In particular, teaching a wide range of courses—Accounting, Auditing, Finance, Management, Marketing—during my academic career at different universities has provided me with extraordinary multidisciplinary teaching background. As a result, I deliver the individual courses effectively and efficiently while linking it to their general business context. The application of technology and computer-based material was at the core of my techniques in delivering courses’ contents and materials. Excel application development, YouTube, Online meeting tools (GCR, Zoom, Teams), are always part of the teaching process.
