Critical Acclaim
‘The Library, of which this volume forms part, is in my opinion an essential resource for researchers and university libraries. It provides postgraduate students, doctoral students, accounting researchers and academics with representative papers regarding the development of international accounting research during the last 10 years. . . In my view this is the first in a series of books, which will prove to be a fundamental work of reference for international accounting and essential reading for all interested parties.’
