“…A similar situation was found to exist in New Zealand, where the Maori leaders concluded that one of the major reasons behind the low levels of achievement for Maori students was the lack of an education system that addressed the particular needs of Maori (Gallhofer et al, 1999). The Australian education system will play a significant role in the under-representation of Indigenous people in accounting studies, due to the Australian education system failing Indigenous students (Bartlett, 2007).…”

Australian Indigenous people are under-represented in accounting studies and in the accounting profession. As part of an investigation of the cause of this situation such that it can be overcome, this project addresses the relevant study choices of high-school students in Darwin. Through semi-structured interviews with students and teachers, it is found that diverse cultural issues have significant impact on Indigenous students' study options and study success, that there are important differences between urban Indigenous students and remote Indigenous students, and that addressing merely attendance, literacy and numeracy issues is unlikely to make an impact on students' study choices as they relate to accounting.

“…The articles focusing on education mainly highlight deficiencies in current accounting education, such as the lack of ethics and sustainability considerations in programs and curricula (Reiter, 1996;McPhail, 1999;Gray & Collison, 2002;Boyce, 2008;Low, Davey & Hooper, 2008), the narrow, quantification-oriented scope of accounting studies (Chua, 1996; Lewis & Owen, 1996) and issues associated with teaching minority students (Gallhofer et al, 1999;Saravanamuthu, 2008;McGowan & Potter, 2008;. Others have critically examined the ramifications of commercialization in the university sector (Dillard & Tinker, 1996;Dominelli & Hoogvelt, 1996; see also Special Issue in 2002, Vol.…”

Critical Perspectives on Accounting

As accounting academics, we have a responsibility to act in the public interest as conscience, critic and counselor of society regarding economic, social and environmental justice. In fulfilling this responsibility, we are concerned with how accounting, accountants, and accountability regimes can facilitate democracy by serving the needs of pluralistic communities, giving particular attention to the various underserved constituencies. Informed by Flyvbjerg's (2001) notion of phronetic social science research that matters, we reviewed 353 articles published in Critical Perspectives on Accounting from 1990 to 2014 identifying the focal constituency(s), the injustice(s) addressed, the groups or institutions responsible for the injustice as well as the proposals for social and political praxis outlined in the studies. Our review indicates that generally the studies identify a somewhat focused, though salient and appropriate, set of economic, social and/or environmental injustices experienced by various constituencies, and to some extent, the studies consider the context and conditions that perpetuate the inequality and injustices. However, as the field matures, there is a need for more robust development of the social and political implications of critical accounting research and for articulating the ideas and implications as action programs. Further, our review suggests that several relevant constituencies such as non-human animals, children, future generations, developing nations, and gender and sex/uality minorities have received little or no attention in the current literature.

“…Just as the concept of day care for children has a different meaning and significance depending on where one is located in our world so have the issues and concerns faced by different groups of women in accountancy in a global context. Muslim women and indigenous women seeking to make a career in, for example, a large firm of transnational accountants, have to deal with cultural barriers which differentiate them from the white middle-class women of mainstream feminist accounting research ( ) see Gallhofer et al, 1996 . The Western and capitalistic culture of the globally dominant accountancy profession can be an obstacle to even aspiring to entry into accountancy for women of countries with a different socio-economic and cultural heritage and tradition.…”

The analysis of difference ( in cultures can indeed be a source of general critique Gallhofer et al, ) 1996 , but this possibility is currently not taken up in mainstream feminist accounting research. Indeed, a unifying characteristic of mainstream feminist accounting research is its tendency to conservatismᎏ to an acceptance of much of the status quo.…”
