The Coming Crisis in Accounting
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Belkaoui studies contemporary accounting and concludes that a crisis is developing within the profession that, if left unresolved, will result in governmental legislation affecting the accounting profession and process. The author begins by examining the professional environment of accounting; subsequent chapters review fraud, the accounting work process, the organizational climate of CPA firms, and the academic accountant and the research process. The author suggests that the increasing number of cases of accounting fraud, job dissatisfaction and high turnover, and a politicization of the academic research process are demeaning the credibility of the profession. Each chapter identifies a problem and proposes solutions. . . . Required reading for anyone interested in the accounting profession, upper-division and graduate students as well as professionals.”–
Book Description
Belkaoui here turns his attention to significant problems he sees facing the accounting profession as a whole and examines their effects on the way accounting is practiced, on accountants' clients and on business in general. The problems derive, Belkaoui explains, from new developments in the accounting environment including the organizational climate in CPA firms and the rising incidence of fraudulent cases. Arguing that these problems, if not resolved, will lead to a crisis of confidence in accounting and increased government regulation of the profession, Belkaoui both identifies their causes and proposes solutions to avert a crisis in the field.
