{"title":"When ethnography meets scientific aspiration: a comparative exploration of ethnography in anthropology and accounting","authors":"Claire Deng","doi":"10.1108/qram-11-2022-0183","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1108/qram-11-2022-0183","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing methodological discussions surrounding the adoption of ethnographic approaches in accounting by undertaking a comparative analysis of ethnography in anthropology and ethnography in qualitative accounting research. By doing so, it abductively speculates on the factors influencing the distinct characteristics of ethnography in accounting and explores their implications. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a comparative approach, organizing the comparison using Van Maanen’s (2011a, 2011b) framework of field-, head- and text-work phases in ethnography. Furthermore, it draws on the author’s experience as a qualitative researcher who has conducted ethnographic research for more than a decade across the disciplines of anthropology and accounting, as well as for non-academic organizations, to provide illustrative examples for the comparison. Findings This paper finds that ethnography in accounting, when compared to its counterpart in anthropology, demonstrates a stronger inclination towards scientific aspirations. This is evidenced by its prevalence of realist tales, a high emphasis on “methodological rigour”, a focus on high-level theorization and other similar characteristics. Furthermore, the scientific aspiration and hegemony of the positivist paradigm in accounting research, when leading to a change of the evaluation criteria of non-positivist research, generate an impoverishment of interpretive and ethnographic research in accounting. Originality/value This paper provides critical insights from a comparative perspective, highlighting the marginalized position of ethnography in accounting research. By understanding the mechanisms of marginalization, the paper commits to reflexivity and advocates for meaningful changes within the field.","PeriodicalId":46537,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136254891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"How accounting research understands performativity: effects and processes of a multi-faceted notion","authors":"Reaven Yu, Christian Huber","doi":"10.1108/qram-02-2023-0020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1108/qram-02-2023-0020","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose This paper aims to review the literature on the use of the notion of performativity and its related concepts in accounting research. The literature uses the term performativity in almost diametrically different ways, yet most papers assume that the meaning of the term is self-evident. We build on recent reviews of the notion of performativity and explicate the implicit tensions in the accounting literature, discovering a need to clarify how the accounting literature has explored the processes – how accounting becomes performative – and effects – what is performed – of accounting performativity. The paper develops suggestions for future theoretical and empirical research. Design/methodology/approach The authors have searched in six leading accounting journals ( Accounting, Organizations and Society, Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal, Management Accounting Research, Critical Perspectives on Accounting and Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management ) for the terms “performativity” and/or “performative” and/or “performable”. This yielded 289 results from which we distilled a core sample of 92 papers which substantially draw on the concept and explicate their use of the term. Findings The authors find that the accounting literature has paid almost equal attention to the conforming and amplifying effects of performativity but has mostly explored how conditions of performativity are built. Less attention has been paid to how accounting generates multiple worlds and how differences in these worlds are coordinated by accounting. Building institutions and searching for accounting incompleteness have been developed as the two main processes where accounting is made performative. Research limitations/implications The paper develops avenues for future research, highlighting the potential for a deeper understanding of how the notion of performativity can be used. We do not advocate homogenizing the literature, instead exploring its fruitful tensions to discover a renewed interest in how accounting is constitutive of existing and/or new worlds. We illustrate this potential by reflecting on the debates about accounting incompleteness and the boundaries of accounting. The authors also suggest the potentials for concepts of performativity in studying emerging phenomena such as big data and sustainability and revisiting the ethics of using accounting as a social and organizational practice. Originality/value The literature review explicates differences in the use of the term performativity, which usually remain implicit in the literature. The study develops a framework that attends to both the processes – problematizing the conditions for performativity or not – and effects – conforming and amplifying – of performativity accounting studies have drawn upon, which clarifies how the accounting literature has mobilized the notion of performativity and the contributions the accounting literature has added.

The test used is path analysis involving 33 provinces in Indonesia in the period from January to July 2022. The main results of this study show that third party funds in provinces with fewer banking branch offices have no effect on bank credit, but P2P lending can mediate the relationship between banking third party funds and bank credit in provinces with fewer banking branch offices. The additional results of this study indicate that banking third party funds in provinces with a greater number of bank branch offices have a positive effect on bank credit. The novelty of this research is that the researchers introduced the P2P lending mediating variable based on financial technology (FinTech) as a solution for provinces with limited access and exposure to banking to be able to bridge the distribution of third-party funds to debtors, thereby increase financial inclusion.","PeriodicalId":46537,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84572080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Este estudio tiene como propósito analizar las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF) como herramienta contra el fraude. Estos estándares ofrecen una oportunidad para mejorar la función financiera de las entidades, obteniendo mayor transparencia en sus revelaciones. El estudio se desarrolló analizando el caso de fraude realizado por Empresas La Polar S.A., expuesto en el año 2011. Para ello se revisaron documentos oficiales emitidos por la Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros, hoy Comisión del Mercado Financiero, y los Informes de Auditoria y Estados Financieros Consolidados de Empresas La Polar S.A., en los periodos 2005 a 2016. En relación con los resultados obtenidos se destaca la comparación de los días de cuentas por cobrar de Empresas La Polar S.A. en relación con Falabella S.A., ambas empresas de la industria del retail, donde se evidencia una diferencia significativa entre los días promedio de cobrar. En Empresas La Polar S.A. se observa un incremento en las cuentas por cobrar entre el año 2007 y 2008, cuando en la industria disminuyen.
