A theory of public health sector report: forging a new path

Article Abstract:

Recent research has developed a theory for facilitating and legitimizing the use of accountability as the basis for discussion and disclosure in the public health sector. This theoretical model is based on social accountability concepts. It is made up of five fundamental concepts, 10 bridging concepts and four properties. These are efforts to present comprehensive report potentialities from a background in the literature and accountee preferences. The model offers a suitable framework for structuring and analyzing discourse on social preferences for report.

Assessing the impact of "liberalisation" on auditor behaviour: accounting research in politically charged contexts

Article Abstract:

Research into the possible impact of the structure of the auditor-client relationship on auditor behaviour and audit practice has focused on the possible repercussions of the liberalization of the Greek auditing profession in 1992 for the behaviour of auditors in relation to their performance of a range of audit functions. Efforts have been made to establish a link between academic research and accounting practice. It is clear that audit practice depends on the nature and organization of the auditing profession and the evolving legislative structure.
