Routledge - The Unaccountable & Ungovernable Corporation

Explore a deep examination of modern business structures with The Unaccountable & Ungovernable Corporation. This book investigates the global role of the corporation as a primary vehicle for business activity and its impact on society. As corporations generate both benefits and social costs, this work questions whether the current corporate model still provides a net benefit to the public. Drawing on evidence-based observations from the last decade of corporate events, the text analyzes the specific roles played by accounting and auditing. It presents a compelling argument for a rethink of how commerce is conducted in the modern era. Written by internationally renowned accounting scholars, this publication examines whether the current corporate form has reached its use-by-date and looks closely at the effectiveness of existing governance tools.
