The leading professional accounting bodies in Britain today boast
more than a quarter of a million qualified members and accountants
are moving into top management positions in increasing numbers.
Accountants have become the foremost professional grouping in
British business management. The Priesthood of Industry documents
the rise of the accountancy profession, from the handful of
accountants listed in the trade directories of the major cities in
the late-eighteenth century to the huge commercially-oriented firms
of the late-twentieth century. The authors focus on the individual:
the professional accountant, and adopt an economic determinist
analysis to explain the rise of public practice and the transfer of
staff to industry in increasing numbers. They also consider the
routes through which this transfer of skills took place, and
identify demand and supply side factors to explain the professional
accountant's present hegemony in business management.
