Question

Discuss the assertion that accounting is overly involved in ‘controlling’ and ‘governing’ employees in organisations. How do these mechanisms occur? Provide a few examples of these mechanisms.

Finally, by drawing on the work of Miller and O’Leary (1987), critically discuss the statement below.

In defining our concern as with “construction of the governable person” we would not want to imply an image of a totally obedient individual. We wanted rather to examine the programmatic frameworks and power relations in terms of which the lives of individuals are viewed, measured and supervised. […]. What is at issue in [the] more recent development in [accounting] is a form. of power which operates though freedom: a freedom for the individual to have an informal life within the organization, […] and to be influenced by the environment outside the firm” (Miller & O’Leary, 1987, p. 263)

Your answers need to include the concepts introduced in the first five weeks of the module.
