Full Description
This book, originally published in 1995, is concerned with the study of accounting within its organizational and social context. The author analyses accounting as having potential effects at both an ideological level and at an occupational level. Empirically, it is explored within the context of voluntary organizations as theoretically interesting extreme cases, where the conditions for accounting to be significant should be most open to question. This title will be of interest to students of business studies and management.
