In an important and innovative contribution to the scholarship of accounting theory, Ahmed Belkaoui presents new ways of thinking about the practices, problems, and directions of accounting. According to Belkaoui, researchers, practitioners, users, and students of accounting hold many different visions of the field, each the result of a conscious choice between alternative approaches, methodologies, images, structures, and paradigms. Here, Belkaoui offers a thorough, comprehensive examination of these various methods and techniques of accounting as well as an in-depth exploration of their philosophical determinants.
