Headshot of Vilson Dushi

I am an instructor at Davis College of Business and Economics (DCOBE) at Radford University in Virginia, USA, where I joined the DCOBE faculty in 2022.  

I hold an undergraduate degree in accounting and a master's degree in finance. I spent 17 years as an auditor across government, public accounting, and industry. In addition to teaching, I am a consultant for numerous small businesses, offering expertise in accounting, tax, and general business consulting services.  

I teach undergraduate accounting courses and manage the Governmental and Nonprofit Assistance Center (GNAC), which delivers professional education and training to public sector organizations.   

My research interests include fraud behavior and the pedagogy of fraud detection and prevention.
