This Handbook explores how accounting, accountability and governance are interconnected, and demonstrates that they must operate effectively together in establishing good personal and organizational behaviour in entities of all types around the globe. The health of organizations, both financial and moral, and the success and stability of share markets and other markets is premised on relevant and reliable accounting information, proper accountability, and good governance. Chapters address a diverse range of organizations and settings and investigate new ways of holding organizations and their managers accountable, not just for financial but also for social and environmental performance. Effective accounting, accountability and governance are seen as requiring not just technical practices but also social and moral practices. Emphasizing their interconnectedness is necessary to achieve better outcomes for organizations, society and the planet.This expansive Handbook will be crucial for academic researchers working within the fields of accounting, economics, corporate governance, accountability, management, and business and be beneficial for accounting, economics and management professionals seeking to clarify and expand upon their knowledge for effective application.

Australian literature on professional accounting and audit begins in 1880. The two decades to 1900 were a crucial period in Australian history, the boom years of the 1880s being followed by the severe recession of the 1890s and the federation of the Australian. There were no professional accounting journals but publication took place in banking and insurance magazines, commercial newspapers and general newspapers. This book reprints 65 articles from this turbulent period and hugely productive period in Australian Accounting and Auditing practices.
