Accounting Forum, 2004, vol. 28, issue 4, 369-384

Abstract: A central professional accounting value is expressed in the imperative to give true accounts. This paper explores some philosophical background to the concept of truth, and develops a novel approach to accounting truth that sheds some light on how true accounts can be given in a wide range of discursive environments.
