Abstract

This paper discusses some of the accounting consequences associated with the control of business enterprises by “overseas Chinese" in the context of five ASEAN countries. Based on extant research, overseas Chinese controlled business enterprises exhibit six characteristics with distinguish them Western multinational companies (MNCs): a family- centric corporate structure; exposure to diverse industries and commercial undertakings; a propensity to source financing “in-house”, increasing links with foreign MNCs though joint venture arrangements while attempting to maintain decision-making control locally; attitude towards intangible versus tangible assets; and decision-making which ‘emphasises the use of balance sheets and cash flow statements. These characteristics raise questions regarding the applicability and appropriateness of Westem-based accounting standards and regulatory structures in regard to consolidation accounting based on legalistic notions of control, the practice of assigning values to intangible assets, and the decision-usefulness of financial statements which use arbitrary cost allocations. The discussion here suggests that accounting practice in different national settings needs to be understood in terms ofunique set of cultural and organisational values.

Abstract

Bureaucracy has co-existed with forms of management accounting [MA] from the time of ancient civilizations. In this paper, we review literature in a wide variety of scholarly journals and books to provide an overview of this co-existence. We trace the historical evolution of MA and how it was influenced by bureaucracy from 1700 to the present. We do so through four time periods, designated classical, modern, post-modern and contemporary. For each of these periods, evolving understandings of bureaucracy were linked to changes in the practice and conceptualization of MA. In the classical period (1700 – 1950), developments in MA corresponded to a prevailing positive understanding of bureaucracy. In the modern period (1951 – 1980), theoretical elaborations of MA assimilated a post-bureaucratic posture. In the post-modern period (1981 – 1990), changes in MA practice partially mirrored ongoing criticism of bureaucracy. In the contemporary period (1991 – present), MA practices have reflected a more favorable disposition to the idea of bureaucracy.
