The Act amended previous anti-money laundering legislation, transferred prosecution of serious tax evasion cases from the Revenue Department to an anti-money laundering unit and permitted the seizure of an accused ’ s assets once criminal proceedings had been initiated. Drawing on institutional theory, our study examines why this legislation was introduced. It focusses on the formal institutions and legitimacy. Speci fi cally, it reports on 35 interviews with a range of stakeholders to ascertain their views about the reasons behind this legal change. The results suggest that external and internal legitimacy concerns acted as catalysts for the change. These results have practical implications for those investigating the issue of tax evasion and policy implications for those examining whether legislation will impact the incidence of tax evasion within a country.","PeriodicalId":47566,"journal":{"name":"Accounting Forum","volume":"11 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82905168","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}

Quantum mechanics is increasingly entering the social world as a means of helping to explain social phenomena. This article extends this approach to the accounting field, to explore the economic nature of goodwill. After reviewing Barad’s concept of agential realism, we develop a quantum interpretation and present a new conceptual approach to accounting goodwill. In this theory-building exercise we discuss quantum concepts such as entanglement, diffraction and intra-action to propose a physical and economic inseparability between goodwill and other company assets. We maintain that intangible capital (goodwill) and physical capital are “entangled”, and this entanglement forms the company’s economic value. Unlike Einstein, we conclude that the entanglement of physical capital and intangible capital through intra-action is not “spooky action at a distance” but a form of wealth creation (or wealth destruction) in companies.</p>","PeriodicalId":47566,"journal":{"name":"Accounting Forum","volume":"77 7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138530267","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":"On the use of framing strategies by the Big Four accounting firms: bringing sustainability risks into the mainstream","authors":"Michelle Rodrigue, D. Diouf, Y. Gendron","doi":"10.1080/01559982.2022.2066403","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01559982.2022.2066403","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This paper analyses the discourse that the Big Four accounting firms have promoted on the notion of sustainability risks, ultimately framing them as economical, technical, tractable and controllable. Drawing on Douglas and Wildavsky’s (1982) anthropological understanding regarding the construction of risk in modern society in combination with frame theory, we study how the Big Four's specialized publications frame sustainability risks and the magnitude of their consequences. Our analysis indicates that four framing strategies characterize the firms’ discourse: representing the Big Four as proactive knowledge producers; promoting quantification and measurability; fostering neoliberal policy-making and de-emotionalizing socio-environmental issues. We maintain that through these framing strategies, the wicked issues of sustainability are overly simplified, transposed into the conventional area of organizational economics, and therefore made manageable in the unbroken pursuit of corporate growth. In other words, the apparent aim is to take sustainability risks into a territory where corporate elites are in the habit of thinking and acting: the economic arena, as delimited by the boundaries of the organization. In so doing, the Big Four create a space for their role as business advisors, ensuring that their profitability is strengthened as companies seek professional help in establishing a meaningful control structure around (narrowly defined) sustainability risks. Instead of bringing sustainability risks into the purview of organizational controllability, we believe there is a crucial need to bring business organizations and the Big Four accounting firms into the purview of responsibility toward the planet.","PeriodicalId":47566,"journal":{"name":"Accounting Forum","volume":"3 1","pages":"416 - 440"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80501557","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}
