Professionalism and Accounting Rules

This book investigates the issues raised by the vast array of accounting standards and technical rules which have marked the recent history of accounting. It is argued that the accounting profession is beset by an inferior and incomplete notion of quality in its work which emphasises compliance with processing rules, rather than the correspondence with commercial phenomena necessary to make financial statements reliable guides for human activity.West, Brian P. is the author of 'Professionalism and Accounting Rules' with ISBN 9780415285698 and ISBN 0415285690.
