One of the prime purposes of accounting is to communicate and yet,
to date, this fundamental aspect of the discipline has received
relatively little attention. "The Routledge Companion to Accounting
Communication" represents the first collection of contributions to
focus on the power of communication in accounting.
The chapters have a shared aim of addressing the misconception
that accounting is a purely technical, number-based discipline by
highlighting the use of narrative, visual and technological methods
to communicate accounting information. The contents comprise a
mixture of reflective overview, stinging critique, technological
exposition, clinical analysis and practical advice on topical areas
of interest such as:
- The miscommunication that preceded the global financial
crisis
- The failure of sustainability reporting
- The development of XBRL
- How to cut clutter
With an international coterie of contributors, including a
communication theorist, a Big Four practitioner and accounting
academics, this volume provides an eclectic array of expert
analysis and reflection. The contributors reveal how accounting
communications represent, or misrepresent, the financial affairs of
entities, thus presenting a state-of-the-art assessment on each of
the main facets of this important topic. As such, this book will be
of interest to a wide range of readers, including: postgraduate
students in management and accounting; established researchers in
the fields of both accounting and communications; and accounting
practitioners.
