Reflections on the practice of research

Joni J. Young and Leslie S. Oakes

Accounting forum, 2009, vol. 33, issue 4, 280-284

Abstract: In this essay, we consider the relevance of research. To support our argument of its relevance, we offer three cases – Hull House, the Indian Trust Fund, and accounting standard-setting – that examine the taken-for-grantedness of accountability and the ways in which the term is frequently used.
