June Pallot

June Pallot (September 1953 – 5 November 2004) was a New Zealand professor of accounting at the University of Canterbury, and a registered architect.

Pallot initially trained as an architect, graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Auckland, where she was in the so-called 'pioneer class', the first year to have a significant number of women.

[1][2] After completing her qualification, she joined the faculty, placing her in Wellington at a period of significant public sector reform.

[2] She was a Visiting Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and advised on reform of government accounting and budgeting in Scotland and Japan.

[5] The University of Canterbury named a lecture series in honour of Pallot,[3] and her most influential work was brought together in a book The Legacy of June Pallot: Public Sector Financial Management Reform, published in 2009.
