Vosselman, Ed. "The performativity of accounting: advancing a Posthumanist understanding." Qualitative Research in Accounting & Management 19, no. 2 (January 11, 2022): 137–61. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/qram-04-2021-0062.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it seeks to articulate a framework for different conceptions of accounting’s performativity. Second, it aims to advance a Baradian posthumanist understanding of accounting’s performativity. Design/methodology/approach The paper traces different foundational conceptions of performativity and then articulates and substantiates different conceptions of accounting’s performativity. It advances one of these conceptions by producing a Baradian posthumanist understanding of accounting’s performativity. Findings Seven conceptions of performative accountings are articulated: accounting as a (counter)performative illocution; accounting as a performative perlocution; accounting as a self-fulfilling prophecy; accounting as an overflowing frame; accounting as a controlled relational agency; accounting as a mediator; and accounting as an exclusionary practice. It is argued how a posthumanist understanding of accounting as an exclusionary practice turns accounting from a world-knowing practice into a world-making practice. As such, it should be called to account. Research limitations/implications Posthumanist qualitative accounting research that conceives of accounting as an exclusionary practice focuses on how accounting is a material-discursive practice that intra-acts with other practices, and on how there is a power-performativity in the intra-actions that locally and temporarily (re)produces meaningful positions for subjects and objects and the boundaries between them. Practical implications A posthumanist understanding teaches practitioners to be attentive to and accountable for the exclusions that come with accounting or, more generally, with measurement. Accounting raises ethical concerns. Originality/value This paper articulates different conceptions of accounting’s performativity and makes the case for empirical non-anthropocentric examinations of accounting as an exclusionary practice.

Full textAbstract:
In her presidential message to the American Accounting Association (AAA) in August 2005, Judy Rayburn discussed the issue of the relatively low citation rate for accounting research compared to finance, management, and marketing. Rayburn concluded that accounting's low citation rate was due to a lack of diversity in topics and research methods. In this paper, we provide a review of the AAA's flagship journal, The Accounting Review (TAR), following its 80 years of publication, and describe why some recent AAA leaders believe that significant changes should be made to the journal's publication and editorial policies. At issue is whether scholarly accounting research is overly focused on mathematical analysis and empirical research, or “accountics” as it has sometimes been called, at the expense of research that benefits the general practice of accountancy and discovery research on more interesting topics. We conclude from our review of TAR that after mostly publishing research about accounting practices for the first 40 years, a sweeping change in editorial policy occurred in the 1960s and 1970s that narrowly defined scholarly research in accounting as that which employs accountics.

Full textAbstract:
Currently the role of accountants in firms is changing. Increasingly, accountants should have adequate skills not only in terms of financial accounting, but also skills in terms of management accounting that help in the decision-making process and in the performance of firms.The use of management accounting practices, and the respective instruments, has been gaining more and more importance in the business sector, presenting very satisfactory results, contributing greatly to the achievement of a companys competitive advantage over others operating in the same field of activity.There are some studies that suggest a weak influence on the role of management accounting in the decision-making process and in firm or organizational performance, however, they are already somewhat old, namely from the end of the 20th century. However, more recent studies show that many small and medium-sized firms cannot survive in the first years of activity, possibly due to a lack of specialists in decision-making support and they didnt implement Management Accounting (MA).The research objective of this article isto analyse the role of the Portuguese accountant, his skills and how the use of MA can contribute to the firm performance.To meet the research objective, it was decided to apply a quantitative analysis. It was developed a reflective structural equation model (SEM), using a Partial Least Squares method (PLS-SEM), which reveals the influence and impact of the Portuguese accountant and the MA on the firm performance.The results obtained allowed us to conclude that accountants in Portugal recognize the relevance of financial accounting and management accounting for the firm performance, however, they do not give relevance to the complementarity, use and applicability of these two accountings. For accountants in Portugal, management accounting is a complement to the firm performance, not being relevant to financial performance and is less important than financial accounting.

Islamic accounthg is an emerging field of study. With the establishmentof several Islamic banks, interest in this area has increased. Thepresent booklet is a master’s thesis, submitted to the Intemational Universityof Japan, consisting of four chapters and five appendices. Chapterone reviews western accounting and its evolution. Its main argument isthat western accounting developed in response to the needs of evolvingcapitalism. Due to social assumptions of the primacy of self-interest andthe profit motive, accounting serves the needs of business and not thoseof society. Society makes only an indirect use of a business entity’s accountingstatements.In chapter two, the author introduces the basic concept of Islamic accounting.According to him, Islamic accounting is more responsive to asociety’s needs. The accounting statements prepared in an Islamic frameworkprovide essential information needed by the society. For example,they are useful for calculating zakat. Chapter three deals with the actualaccounting of zakat. The author examines the controversy of whetherzakat should be treated as a cost or as part of the appropriation accountin a mudiirubuh arrangement. He supports the contention that it shouldbe treated as a cost. The last chapter summaries the debate and concludesthat western accounting should make use of the Islamic accounting concept’sof responding to the needs of a society rather than a business.The book is a welcome addition to the meager literatw on the subject.The author has examined some primary sources in order to base hisargument, although he has also relied on secondary source. But the readerdoes not find what he expects for, with the exception of one major observationabout the scope of accounting in the Islamic and western frameworks,there is little on the differences between the two concepts. Forexample, he does not compare their assumptions, standards, procedures,and methods. Perhaps these questions were not part of the book‘s scope.However, I think such a discussion would be of interest to many readers ...

(2) What accounting research opportunities exist to address these challenges?Design/methodology/approachBackground context introduces accounting scholars to the modern space economy and its economic infrastructure, providing insight on entity transactions involving activities in outer space. Detailed discussion and analysis of space accounting challenges and research opportunities reveal potential for a robust, interdisciplinary field in the accounting domain relevant for both practitioner and academic spheres. The article concludes with a summary investigation of the future exploration of accounting for space commerce.FindingsMany accounting challenges and opportunities exist now and in the near future for accounting practitioners and scholars to contribute towards humanity's ambitious plans to achieve a sustained presence on the moon sometime during the 2020s and on Mars in the 2030s. All of accounting's traditional subject-matter domain, as well as sustainability accounting matters, will be relied upon in these efforts. Interdisciplinary inquiries and problem solving will be critical for success, with particular collaboration needs existing between accounting and operations management scholars.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to explore accounting for the burgeoning space economy, and to offer insight and guidance on the development of an emerging accounting subfield: space accounting.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – An effective management accounting information system (MAIS), as well as the accounting discourse related to it, can support, facilitate, enable, and constrain diverse business discourses. This paper aims to examine the discursive and organisational effects of an organisation accounting upon absent accounting artefacts, i.e. accounting without accounting. Situated within the discursive literature, this paper examines the construction of competing articulations of the organisation by focusing on what accounting does or does not do within an organisation. In particular, the paper acknowledges the fundamental importance of the accounting discourse in supporting, facilitating, enabling, and constraining competing organisational discourses, as it illustrates how the absence of accounting centralises power within the organisation. Design/methodology/approach – From a rhetorical, discursive perspective, the authors develop an in-depth qualitative case study in a manufacturing organisation where MAIS has been abandoned for approximately two years. Interpretive research approaches, from a post-structural perspective, provided the base for the structure of the research. The authors studied how other organisational discourses (such as entrepreneurship and growth), which are traditionally constructed with reference to accounting and other artefacts, continued to be produced and sustained. The non-use and non-availability of management accounting information created a vacuum that needed to be filled. The lack of discursive counterpoints and counter-evidence provided by MAIS created a vacuum of information, allowing powerful, proxy discourses to prevail in the organisation, increasing risks to business management. Findings – The absence of MAIS to support an accounting discourse requires that contingent discourses “fill in the discursive gap”. Despite appearances, they are no substitute for the accounting discourse. Thus, over time, the entrepreneurial, growth and partners' discourses lose credibility, without the corresponding use of management accounting information and its associated discourse. Originality/value – There are at least two main contributions from the case study and the findings presented in this paper: first, they provide a new perspective for studying MAIS, as a specific organisational discourse among other discourses that shape people relationship within the organisation as an examination of accounting without accounting. Second, this discussion reinforces the relevance of accounting discourse for other organisational discourses, supporting, facilitating, enabling, and constraining them, by demonstrating the effects of its absence.

The Accounting curricular should provide students with the basic theoretical framework for understanding Audit Investigation, Fraud Examination and Forensic Accounting and, simultaneously, provide students with knowledge and techniques. Currently, Universities do not include suitable syllabus that meet the requirement of forensic accounting firms. Therefore, matching expectations of employers and suitable curricular content for the development of forensic accountant knowledge and skills are crucial. Thus, coverage of forensic accounting syllabus and the quality of forensic accountant practitioner becomes an issue. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between forensic accounting course and forensic accountant skills. A total of 96 individuals completed the questionnaire that was used for the analysis adapted mainly from the course outcome of Forensic Accounting and Financial Criminology Master’s degree programme in one of the public universities in Malaysia. The result of this study indicated that auditing courses have no significant relationship towards forensic accountant skills despite having positive relationship, whilst fraud examination courses and forensic accounting courses have significant positive relationship towards forensic accountant skills. The results of this study should aid in setting the future direction and the role of forensic accounting practices and education.

Creative accounting emerged during the last century in the English-Saxon economies as a result of the growing complexity of the economic reality. Creative accounting can be defined as the set of techniques used by a company’s accounting unit to modify the presentation of its accounts in a manner favourable to its expectations. Creativity in accounting can be used depending on the intention of the accountant, both in order to manipulate the financial statements and to find new solutions and accounting methods to the problems faced by a company. The positive or negative side of creative accounting is given by the many motivations for using it. The objective of this research is to present the main techniques and principles of creative accounting and its applicability at the national level in order to identify the advantages or limitations of using this new ‘creative accounting’ paradigm. The research methodology used in this scientific article is based on the study of the specialised literature in the field using theoretical documentation and comparative analysis.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an expanded introduction of Jasanoff’s (2003, 2007) work on “technologies of humility” to the accounting literature and to show how it can be useful in developing critical dialogic accountings for non-financial matters. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on Jasanoff’s (2003, 2007) distinction between “technologies of hubris” and “technologies of humility”, this study extends prior research on critical dialogic accounting and accountability (CDAA) that seeks to “take pluralism seriously” (Brown, 2009; Dillard and Vinnari, 2019). This study shows how Jasanoff’s work facilitates constructing critical, reflexive approaches to accounting for non-financial matters consistent with agonistics-based CDAA. Findings Jasanoff’s four proposed focal points for developing new analytical tools for accounting for non-financial matters and promoting participatory governance – framing, vulnerability, distribution and learning – are argued to be useful in conceptualising possible CDAA technologies. These aspects are all currently ignored or downplayed in conventional approaches to accounting for non-financial matters, limiting accounting’s ability to promote more socially just and ecologically sustainable societies. Originality/value The authors introduce Jasanoff’s work on technologies of humility to show how CDAA, informed by Jasanoff’s proposed focal points, can help to expose controversial issues that powerful interests prefer to obscure, to surface the normative foundations of technocratic analytic methods, to address the need for plural perspectives and social learning and to bring all these aspects “into the dynamics of democratic debate” (Jasanoff, 2003, p. 240). As such, they provide criteria for constructing accounting technology consistent with agonistics-based CDAA.

ABSTRACT This article is based on my keynote speech presented at the 2018 Journal of International Accounting Research Conference held at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Italy. The worldwide adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards in 2005 represents a “quasi-experimental” shock for thousands of companies around the world. This “Big Bang” event provided accounting researchers with an opportunity to gain insights into the fundamental qualitative characteristics of accounting that users find valuable. This research identifies several qualitative characteristics that help explain “why accounting matters,” including: (1) reliability, as captured by strong legal institutions, (2) accruals, (3) increased disclosure, (4) greater comparability, and (5) the use of historical costs (at least for contracting purposes). Notably, the overarching characteristic, which is necessary for all of the other characteristics to matter, is strong legal institutions.

The results of the research, their use and conclusions. It was established that the activity of professional accountants involves the implementation of a complex of identification, interpretation and evaluation measures. The result of identification measures is recognition by a professional accountant of the fact of the existence of the grounds necessary for the identification of the components of the subject area of accounting (assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses). The above gives reason to state that the content of business operations in the context of accounting consists in changing the amount of assets and sources of their formation. Based on this interpretation, a professional accountant discloses both the company's activity itself and its results in reporting forms for a wide range of users. At the same time, any changes in accounting objects take place due to the recognition of their impact on the elements of equity capital based on the recognition of income and expenses. Evaluation measures performed by a professional accountant are aimed at obtaining characteristics of the volume of information that must be registered in the accounting system, its content and value, as well as its compliance with user’s expectations. The implementation of the specified measures by a professional accountant contributes to the implementation of behavioral, analytical and evaluation functions of the accounting system. The obtained research results can be used both in the practical activities of professional accountants and at various stages of their professional training and professional development.

A sample of editorial cartoons published following the wave of accounting scandals in the United States culminating in the collapse of Enron and the demise of the auditors Arthur Andersen LLP was examined to explore the portrayal of accounting, accountants and auditors. The nature and importance of the cartoons was also investigated. While the examination revealed what cartoonists had to say about accounting, accountants and auditing, the purpose was to ascertain the stereotypes conveyed. The cartoonists working from established preconceptions of accounting and accountants redefined and reshaped accounting stereotypes. They replaced the dull but honest image with a negative one, the fraudulent accountant. However, the image of the male accountant survived. As social critics, the cartoonists focused on the consequences on employees and stockholders but neglected to address the consequences for business institutions.

The accounting prices for sustaining an economy obey Hartwick's rule but are inconsistent with the principles of national accounting. Moreover, they would be formidably difficult to calculate. Green net national product is an approximate index of welfare in a utilitarian economy which maximises future discounted utility flows.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the article is to study the essence of the concept of «professional judgment of an accountant» and the scope of its application based on the use of a systematic approach. The article emphasizes the important role of professional judgment of an accountant in reflecting a reliable idea of the financial condition and results of the enterprise’s activity, cash movement, providing useful financial information to internal and external stakeholders. The provisions of the current regulatory legal acts on the reflection in the accounting and financial statements of objects, facts and events that require the application of professional judgment of an accountant are analyzed. It is proved that in international accounting standards much attention is paid to the professional judgment of an accountant, but they often do not detail for a particular case the procedure for evaluating or recognizing the object of accounting. The goal of the professional judgment of an accountant is defined, which is to ensure the functioning of accountance as an integrated system, to promote the formation of complete, reliable, relevant information about the activities of the enterprise for diverse users in accordance with their information requests. It is concluded that the professional judgment of an accountant is applied at all stages of bookkeeping (financial, tax, management accounting) and the preparation of appropriate reporting forms, when developing and amending accounting policies and is aimed at observing the principles of accounting and financial reporting, substantiation of the continuity of activity, materiality and compliance of accounting information with specific facts and circumstances that occur in the business environment and activities of the enterprise, satisfaction of information needs of stakeholders. The main elements of the professional judgment of an accountant include: knowledge, professional obligations, customer orientedness, experience, ethical principles, and personal qualities. The main approaches to the disclosure of the essence of professional judgment of an accountant are determined as follows: in a narrow sense, professional judgment comprises the basis for the formation of accounting information in financial statements; in a broad sense it represents a tool for the formation of the minimum necessary accounting information for diverse users. The proposed stages of the formation of professional judgment will ensure the adoption of the correct and responsible professional opinion of the accountant, which will increase the reliability of accounting information. The authors’ own definition of the concept of «professional judgment of an accountant» as a professional opinion of a specialist (specialists) is proposed in order to form a qualitative characterization of information about an accounting object or reporting article, which is based on the specifics of the activity of an economic entity, the legal or economic situation, the quality of accounting systems and internal control.

Full textAbstract:
Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission of the Executive Yuan promulgated the fully amended Certified Public Accountant Act in 2007, which directly led to significant changes in accounting law. From the perspective of the economic theory of law, this study investigates the amendment of the Certified Public Accountant Act resulting in an increase or decrease in the overall revenue and different revenue shares of accounting firms, and puts forward measures that should be taken by accounting firms and stakeholders. We focus on large accounting firms and divide the sample period into before and after 2008. This study uses the translog revenue function and revenue share functions of the public accounting industry, and based on the 1989–2017 Survey Report of Audit Firms in Taiwan, and we find that the amendment of the Certified Public Accountant Act has had a positive effect on overall revenue, increasing overall revenue and the overall management advisory services shares, and in reducing the overall accounting and auditing shares and tax services shares of large accounting firms. Additional analyses provide regulators with public policy implications and provide accounting firms with managerial information.
