The essays contained in this volume canvass a broad range of
issues, including accounting theory, accounting history,
international accounting, management accounting, internal auditing,
and accounting education. The contributions range in style from
thought pieces to histories to cross-sectional and case study
analyses. The volume as a whole stands as a testament to the
significant intellectual legacies of the late Professor Bill
Birkett, both locally and globally, with respect to the development
of accounting as an academic discipline informed by understandings
of accounting practices and a profession informed by systematic and
rigorous frameworks for cognition and action. The unifying
conclusion of the essayists included in this volume is that Bill
was ahead of his time - he was visionary in his thinking about
accounting and uniquely distinctive in terms of the voice that
conveyed his ideas. Bill's ideas have and will continue to
influence many as a result of personal interaction and exposure to
the educational institutions that Bill shaped. As Bruce Grey (FTSE)
has stated, these essays 'are a wonderful and appropriate tribute
to great man missed by many'.
