In Unshackling Accountants, Professor D R Myddelton of Cranfield
School of Management looks at the history of and the arguments for
and against detailed accounting standards. Myddelton concludes
that, while there may be a case for the accounting profession to
develop voluntary guidelines, the imposition of rigid standards is
likely to prevent the art of accounting from evolving. Myddelton
believes that the argument that more regulation and more uniformity
are necessary to avoid scandals such as those at Enron and WorldCom
is flawed. He argues that those scandals happened at a time when
accounting practices were more regulated than ever before and in
jurisdictions where practices were laid down in the greatest
detail. Very often, in fact, bad practice is imposed by regulation
and accounting standards.
