Is society possible without accounting? In speech or in writing, we communicate actions, plans and decisions using numbers, calculations, words and images. Although accounting research is dominated by quantitative analyses, the role of accounting in society is firmly established over thousands of years. In this concise book, Lisa Jack demonstrates the power of social theory in expanding the value of accounting research. Accounting and Social Theory: An introduction includes advice on research problems as well as guidance on fertile areas for new research. The tools, techniques and developments covered by the author help readers to see social research in accounting as the study of the use, misuse and abuse of accounting communications by people and the effects that this has on social relationships. Stories of accounting in war, agriculture and food, gender, health and other areas illustrate the ways in which the threads of accounting run through society. Having emerged from the author's wealth of teaching experience, this book provides a student-focused treasure trove that illuminates the field for early-career researchers in accounting and established academics looking to expand the impact of their work.

Accounting sustainably involves accounting for and to the natural environment, and accounting for and to society, including groups currently oppressed or disadvantaged by unsustainable processes and practices. This book creates a compelling case for the inclusion of sustainability at the heart of accounting educational programmes, offering critical lessons and identifying risks to avoid when designing accounting programmes and courses. Accounting sustainability has moved from the side-lines of policy discourses, accounting institutions, professional accounting practices, and research activities into the mainstream. The chapters in this proposed book engage in a critical dialogue to facilitate change in accounting education for sustainability. They dispel the myth that accounting for sustainability is an oxymoron, bad for business, unrelated to practice, or contrary to professional accounting bodies' accreditation requirements. This book was originally published as a special issue of Accounting Education.

This textbook is written to provide the basics of managerial accounting to individuals studying to become small business owners or managers rather than for people planning to work as accountants or managers in large corporations. The book will cover the main points of managerial accounting from a unique position of being able to trace the development of the concepts with the same companies, rather than changing companies and information for every new concept. This tracing will be accomplished by the use of four trial balances presented in Appendix A. These trial balances will be used for exercises and problems in most chapters and they are unique in that the trial balances represent four different business types and the concepts are discussed for the four business types. These business types are: a manufacturing firm; a merchandising firm, a service ompany (in this case a hospital)and an agricultural production company (in this case a cattle ranch). Through the use of these trial balances the students will see how the concepts can be applied to different businesses. It is intended that the text provide information on how the concept can be applied to different business types so that students will have background on whatever type of business they end up being employed in or owning.

A comprehensive history of the evolution of technical analysis from ancient times to the Internet age

Whether driven by mass psychology, fear or greed of investors, the forces of supply and demand, or a combination, technical analysis has flourished for thousands of years on the outskirts of the financial establishment. In "The Evolution of Technical Analysis: Financial Prediction from Babylonian Tablets to Bloomberg Terminals," MIT's Andrew W. Lo details how the charting of past stock prices for the purpose of identifying trends, patterns, strength, and cycles within market data has allowed traders to make informed investment decisions based in logic, rather than on luck.
