The Auditors Report

“The Poetry of Accountability”

“Ethical Dimensions of Accounting Change”

Baruch College, City University of New York April 22–24, 1999

The conference will include a special segment, cosponsored by Critical Perspectives on Accounting and the Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal, featuring creative work—poetry, prose poems and short fiction—that is broadly related to the general theme of the conference, “Ethical Dimensions of Accounting Change.”

The conference seeks original contributions in this area, from participants who might wish to read their work, or from others who might wish to have their work read at the conference. The conference is interested in receiving submissions which offer new critical and analytical perspectives on commerce, money and the accounting profession, and which illustrate the power of imaginative writing to provoke alternative “ways of seeing.” It seeks submissions that probe parallels and conflicts between fictional and professional forms of reality construction, and which explore and expose the fictions that underwrite our vision of reality. Above all, it seeks submissions that, in the time-honored Horatian phrase, “instruct by pleasing.”
