Abstract: Abstract G. R.J. Foley is concerned that financial reporting should relate to corporate objectives and the needs of those who help in the complex process of decision-making to achieve these objectives. Thus, in a book of readings which mostly discuss accountability in terms of obligations to parties who do not directly control the company, here we have the case for accountability to the managers! The argument is illustrated by reference to developments in the tortuous process of achieving accounting standards for inflation.
