It was a period when academic research was largely analytical rather than empirically-based. For the most part, the interests of academics at Sydney were largely directed at questioning the status quo - either in the way accounting or auditing was practiced, or in the conventional wisdom expressed in textbooks of the time. The Sydney Accounting Classics series reflects the diversity of interests of the 'Sydney school' at that time. It also recognises the tremendous impact of the foundation professor of accounting, R.J. Chambers. This reprint series ensures that the ideas developed during this period remain available to new generations of scholars and researchers. The Sydney Accounting Classics series is an initiative of the Accounting Foundation, in association with Sydney University Press. Accounting Evaluation and Economic Behavior: This book has been referred to as Chambers' magnum opus, a meticulously researched and argued work describing a framework for accounting practice. This reprint edition opens the way for a new generation of researchers and scholars to read Chambers' work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword to series  Preface  Introduction   Individual thought and action  Ends and means  The environment of action  Monetary calculation  Financial position  The formal framework of accounting  Information and information processing  Communication  Trading ventures  Accounting for trading ventures  Corporate business  Financial communication within organizations  Service and governmental organizations  A theory of the development of accounting practices   Epilogue  Index of names  Subject index","brand":"Sydney University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53191937458519,"sku":"9781920898298","price":26.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/accounting-evaluation-and-economic-behavior-9781920898298","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
