This literature, however, has focused narrowly on the considerable discrepancy between book and market values and the inability of traditional accounting concepts and methods to deal with the intangible nature of key sources of corporate competitive advantage. This essay contributes to this literature by providing a broadly poststructuralist reading of the emergence of ethical knowledge as a component of intellectual capital, a category of asset that has almost been completely overlooked within the extant accountant literature on the knowledge economy. The paper does three things. Firstly, it draws on a broad review of the accounting literature to explore İİ SS MM MM MM OO BB i l gg i yy ee EE rr i şş im i MM ee rr kk ee zz i 4
how intellectual capital is being defined and constructed within that literature. Secondly, it provides a poststructural analysis of the way ethical knowledge emerged within the intellectual capital statements of an early innovator in Intellectual Capital reporting. Finally, the paper tentatively hints towards the moral and civic potential of alternative conceptualisations of ethical knowledge networks at the margins of the knowledge economy and considers some areas for further research in this regard.

This paper discusses intellectual capital (IC) accounting in the context of organisational boundary theory, building upon insights provided by Llewellyn [Llewellyn S. Managing the boundary. How accounting is implicated in maintaining the organisation. Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal 1994;7(4):4 23]. The impetus towards accounting, via recognition and measurement, or via description, for IC is examined from a boundary theoretical perspective, as it affects both financial reporting to parties outside the organisation and internal reporting in the form of management accounting. The notion of intellectual capital, as it has been developed so far, is criticised in this paper as an incomplete terminology that emphasises only certain aspects of intellectual assets, failing to take into account the dark side of the asset base, intellectual liabilities or intellectual contingent liabilities. Further, the application of IC measurement in management control, and the creation and employment of IC metrics are criticised from an ethical standpoint. Clarification of the complex issues involved in IC accounting is offered by Grandori's (2000) proposal of a multiplicity of organisational boundaries, the related idea of a range of different accountability elements, and, ultimately, of a matching multiplicity of modes of accounting.

Conclusion Acknowledgements References Recounting counting and accounting: From political arithmetic to measuring intangibles and back Pages 835 846 Maria Mårtensson Abstract Humans have, for centuries, measured and quantified their world and themselves in various ways. This quantifying impulse reached an early peak in Europe in the era of political arithmetic, from the late seventeenth through the eighteenth centuries. The overall purpose of this paper is to examine contemporary attempts to measure intangible qualities and to compare them to similar attempts from the political arithmetic era. The discussion is structured using three themes; the idea of balance, the search for correlations and the conception of human nature. The findings of the paper indicates that the era of political arithmetic is not so distant at it might seems. Article Outline 1. Introduction 2. Measurements 3. Political arithmetic 4.

Intellectual capital reporting is often related to this goal of enhancing the transparency of business and public institutions. In this paper we emphasize that a movement is seen in the intellectual capital reporting debate, which we argue can be approached as two different discourses of transparency, namely one discourse based on generic reporting versus a second discourse based on management driven information. In other words, one discourse highlights as much information to stakeholders as possible, but seems to be in the process of being substituted by another, which emphasizes reporting what is seen from the perspective of management, namely the right information, and only that. The argument for the latter discourse is that it will make intellectual capital reporting more transparent, because of users bounded rationality and other constraints such as time. This, however, has the implication that users of intellectual capital reporting may become victims of management's selected right information, by [Strathern, M. The tyranny of transparency. British Educational Research Journal 2000;26:310 32] designated as the tyranny of transparency. Also, we emphasize the problems of perceiving transparency as a goal and not a means.

Concluding remarks Acknowledgements References Accounting for People: A real step forward or more a case of wishing and hoping? Pages 855 869 Robin Roslender, Joanna Stevenson Abstract In principle, the Accounting for People initiative announced by the UK government in January 2003 held out the possibility of a real step forward in promoting the interests of employees. Despite its distinctly managerialist discourse, the initiative acknowledged that having now recognised that people are our greatest asset, employers should begin to consider how to report on their people management activities in financial statements. After more than three and a half years of consultation, debate and deliberation, larger UK quoted companies are now charged with providing only a minimal level of general information on their employees. Whatever promise may have been evident to wishful thinkers in the early months of the initiative, this outcome confirms that there is little possibility for progressively accounting for people as long as such practices are shaped by powerful sectional interests. The purpose of this paper is to subject the initiative to critical scrutiny. The paper seeks to document how the Accounting for People initiative was quickly and effectively emasculated as a consequence of the power and influence wielded by the UK accountancy profession, identified as a key agent of capital. Additionally, attention is drawn to a number of contemporary developments, largely and perhaps knowingly ignored in the course of the Accounting for People debate, that may yet inform and energise a more radical approach to accounting for people.
