The Routledge Companion to Contemporary Public Management and
Accounting explores new developments and transformations of
auditing, control, performance and risk management work in the
contemporary world of the public sector and the functioning of
accounting and management in that realm. It focuses on critical
analysis and reflection with respect to changing risk and crisis
management patterns in the public sector in the current COVID-19
and post COVID-19 era, across diverse social, political and
institutional settings globally. This research-based edited book,
targeted at scholars, professionals, teachers, and consultants in
the fields of public sector accounting, auditing, accountability,
and management, offers high-level insights into the new
architecture and execution of such activities in the emerging
post-pandemic world. The chapters are written by leading scholars
in the accounting and public administration disciplines
internationally and provide important assessments, frameworks, and
recommendations concerning a wide variety of institutions,
practices and policies with a view to addressing the many emerging
societal, governmental and professional issues. Spanning
theoretical, empirical, and policy discussion contributions, the
book’s chapters will be readily accessible to accounting,
auditing, and management audiences alike.
This book introduces accountants and managers to an historical
perspective of corporate financial reporting to employees. It
presents a resource for research and practice based upon a
literature that for its pre-1970 decades has been largely
unfamiliar to contemporary educators, researchers and practitioners
alike. In addition the pieces not only provide an historical view
of issues and arguments, but of actual reporting practice and
audience responses. For the students and researcher, these readings
offer a first-hand glimpse into the intentions of employee report
producers, the critiques of observers at the time, and the
requirements of employees in some instances. For report producers,
managers and accountants, it reveals some of the reporting
traditions that we have inherited today as well as reporting
practices that have already been recommended, tried and tested in
the past. The readings selected cover a sixty year period from the
1920s through to the close of the 1970s, with the exception of the
first contribution by Lewis, Parker and Sutcliffe (1984) that
serves as the historical overview and analysis for the whole text.
This bibliography provides the reader with a comprehensive
reference tool that will enhance understanding of methodological
issues and enable the user to employ research methods appropriate
to their subject of study. It also provides accounting historians a
comprehensive data base for the development of papers addressing
methodological issues in an accounting history context. Access to
this type of resource is particularly crucial to the development of
accounting history research since the number of papers dealing with
methodological issues published in accounting history literature is
very small. Hence the references in this bibliography are drawn
from the literature of general history, economic and business
history, legal and social history and philosophy. The scope and
range of its contents are broad - references are taken from texts
as well as papers published in over 450 journals.
This book examines the conceptual development of control in the
literature of both management and accounting disciplines, from 1900
to 1980. In order to portray the development of control concepts
over time, the chapters are organized into sections relating to the
schools of thought from which they emanated and a model of control
is constructed to represent each group of concepts and their
hypothesised inter-relationships. Having traced the development of
control models a comparative analysis of historical development in
the two streams of management and accounting literature is
undertaken. This analysis reveals a pronounced lag of accounting
development behind that of management literature. The reasons for
this are then discussed.

With increased competition for external funding, technological
advancement, and public expectations for transparency,
not-for-profit and non-governmental organizations are facing new
challenges and pressures. While research has explored the roles of
accounting, accountability, and performance management in nonprofit
organizations, we still lack evidence on the best practices these
organizations implement in the areas of accountability and
performance management. This book collects and presents that
evidence for the first time, offering insights to help nonprofits
face these new challenges head-on. Performance Management in
Nonprofit Organizations focuses on both conventional and
contemporary issues facing nonprofits, presenting evidence-based
insights from leading scholars in the field. Chapters examine the
design, implementation, and working of accounting, accountability,
governance, and performance management measures, providing both
retrospective and contemporary views, as well as critical
commentaries on accounting and performance related issues in
nonprofit organizations The book's contributors also offer critical
commentaries on the changing role of accounting and performance
management in this sector. This research-based collection is an
interesting and useful read for academics, practitioners, students,
and consultants in nonprofit organizations, and is highly
accessible to accounting and non-accounting audiences alike.
