Researching accounting's participation in financial regulation,
banking practices, managerial incentives and environmental
disclosures this volume presents scholarly work adopting
interdisciplinary approaches in auditing and accountability realms.
Although conceptually accounting enhances public spheres and
contributes to constraining overarching power, researchers question
whether in practice accounting supports responsible activities.
Among the provocations offered, authors ask: what is material? How
are decisions to foster environmental protection best motivated?
What is a set of public policies and practices by which responsible
actions can be defined and fraud minimized? Questioning accounting
as rational in how policy is established the authors delve into
accounting interactions and conflicts. Their perspectives and
insights enrich our understanding of accounting policies,
organizations and relationships dismissing separate worlds of
social, economic and political factors. Their research illustrates
how dichotomies of private versus public and legal versus moral
obscure important connections.
