Research Annisette's research interests centre on the social organization of the accounting profession, specifically "the manner in which national bases of social exclusion such as religion, social class, race, nationality or immigration status, interact with professional structures to achieve professional closure." Annisette's most cited paper examines the relationship between imperialism and the establishment of the accounting profession in Trinidad and Tobago. The paper shows how the interests of the UK accounting profession and of local elite members of the Trinidadian accounting profession came together to ensure the dominance of the British-based Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in accounting education and certification in Trinidad and Tobago, contrary to the interests of those who wished to develop a more independent national accountancy training program. Her later research has explored issues of race in the accounting profession and the influence of globalization and transnational institutions on the profession.
