This book analyzes the schism between accounting practitioners and academics. The book supports the efforts of the Accounting Education Change Commission and other interest groups in their calls for sweeping reforms in accounting education. The authors focus on the division that has separated practitioners from academics before the turn of the century in the United States. This schism evolved from differing views about the best preparation for entry-level professional accountant jobs. Over time, the schism has included many other concerns ranging from arguments about particular accounting techniques to debates over the role of accounting in a free society.

Much has been written about Japanese management practices, production systems and business culture but surprisingly little attention has been given to the development of accounting practices and approaches in modern Japan. Professor Kyojiro Someya, a former president of the Japanese Accounting Association and now Director of the Japan Accounting Research Institute, is one of the most distinguished accounting scholars in japan. In this book he presents an overview of developments under three main headings - Japanese Accounting History, Problems in Financial Accounting, and Cash Flow Accounting. Someya stresses that the focus of his research was shaped by the particular economic and business conditions in Japan. His work on cash flow accounting and fund flow analysis was done in the context of the problems presented by the high inflation in the immediate post war period; the work on financial statements was linked to the need to increase productivity; and his concerns for appropriate international reporting a reflection of the growing economic internationalization of the Japanese economy from the 1960s onwards. In this important and informed collection, Professor Someya also reflects on the broader meaning of accounting information in business and society, its role in business decision making, and the different ways in which it may be organized and presented in different business cultures.

Timely and reliable accounting information is essential. Accounting data and their interpretation must be above suspicion, and to be sure of that, corporations and other users of accounting information must be certain that accountants subscribe to and practice a morality set to high standards. What these standards are, and how they are deficient, distorted, and sometimes even fallacious, are themes explored here. Riahi-Belkaoui leads readers through the complexities of five aspects of accounting morality: fairness, ethics, honesty, social responsibility, and truth. Professionals, scholars, and students are here provided with a clear, pragmatic understanding of what morality in accounting is, or should be, and new reasons to appreciate its essentiality.
