The Changing Role of the Management Accountants

This book presents a comprehensive and holistic study on being a financial practitioner today. Using a practice theory approach the book analyzes the work life stories of four financial practitioners who have been working for thirteen to twenty five years during the period of 1973 to 2015 and explains how their work identities are constituted in the practices over the years. It clarifies the public image of the management accountants, providing a better understanding of today’s management accountants - who they are and how they are formed, while theorizing on how to develop the next generation of the management accountants.
