An Analysis of the Role of the Textbook in the Construction of Accounting Knowledge

Researchers: John Ferguson; David Collison; David Power; Lorna Stevenson


The Report

The education of future generations of accountants is critical to ensure the quality and reputation of the accounting profession. This report examines to what extent textbooks and training manuals used in university and professional education encourage independent learning and ethical awareness among students and enable future accounting professionals to engage in critical thinking.

The report assesses how authors and publishers decide upon the content of textbooks and training manuals; whether such texts refer to a broad range of corporate stakeholders or to a narrower view of reporting to shareholders, and how such texts are used by both educators and students. The authors conclude with a number of important recommendations for the stakeholders within accounting education to consider.
