Riassunto

The large accounting firms have multi-billion dollar turnovers and play a central role within the global economy whether as auditors, consultants or public policy advisors. Yet, compared with other professions, relatively little is known about life inside these firms. This book reports on a series of research projects carried out by the authors over a ten year period to show how accountants see the world and how they learn to see it that way. The authors show how, from graduate trainees through to partners, the world of auditors is a highly regimented one in which the details of appearance and behavior are minutely regulated. Beyond this, certain key discourses - client service, professionalism, career management and networking - serve to structure both the work and the person of the auditor. Drawing upon the sociology of the professions, organization theory and post-structuralism, the authors develop a distinctive explanation of how identity is formed and maintained within the shifting business and political landscape of the accounting profession.
