Patricia J. Arnold

Accounting, Organizations and Society, 2009, vol. 34, issue 6-7, pages 803-809

Abstract: Accounting practices are deeply implicated in the current financial crisis and in proposals for recapitalizing financial institutions and restoring stability to the global financial system.
