History

Accounting, Organizations and Society was established in 1975 by Anthony Hopwood, who subsequently continued to take an active role as editor through promoting conference and releasing editorial statements that helped to identify emerging areas of accounting research.[2] As of 2012, the journal was known for having a history of publishing innovative research work.[3]

Accounting, Organizations and Society focuses on the relationship between accounting and both human behaviour and organizations' structures, processes, social, and political environments. Specific topics covered include the social role of accounting and social accounting; processes influencing innovations in accounting; organizational strategies for designing accounting and information systems; the behaviour of users of accounting information; and cognitive studies of accounting and decision-making.[4]
