Abstract

This paper presents evidence that highlights the wider role of accounting in organizational governance and change. It posits that accounting can influence decisions at the strategic level of organizations. This is possible because accounting provides a means through which new realities and meanings are created and in so doing allow changes to take place. It becomes a legitimating institution for an organization to link actions with the set of values that the organization needs changed.
