Inside Accounting [electronic resource] : the Sociology of Financial Reporting and Auditing.

Inside Accounting examines how accountants and non-accounting managers construct their company's earnings. As well as considering the accounting structure such as budgeting and financial control, David Leung looks at how people prepare for and facilitate the audit, and how a person's professional experience influences their view of the process and its results. His research into the theory and practice of accounting will be of interest to professionals and academics in the field, and to sociologists and academic researchers.
