Following a spate of high-profile financial scandals (including
Enron, WorldCom, and Parmalat), the quality of financial
information has come under increasing scrutiny. Many of the
accounting standards being imposed on the profession by regulators
and standard-setting bodies are now attracting criticism from the
business community and the accountancy profession itself.
In this book, Anthony Rayman traces a fundamental flaw in the
conventional academic wisdom back to the nineteenth century, and
proposes an alternative conceptual framework. He argues that
effective corporate governance can be achieved, not by expensive
and counterproductive regulations (like the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act
and some International Accounting Standards), but by an enhanced
accounting information system that exposes corporate management to
the full rigour of market forces.
