About this title

Synopsis

Accounting is the language of business, increasingly standardized across the world through powerful global firms: a technical skill used to reach the correct, unquestionable answer. This ethnographic study shows how decisions and judgements are actually reached, exploring the links between technical knowledge, professional judgement, and ethics.

About the Author

Matthew Gill holds a PhD in Sociology from the London School of Economics where he studied with Richard Sennett. He currently works in prudential policy at the Financial Services Authority. He was previously an Andrew W Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Washington University in Saint Louis, in an interdisciplinary program which seeks to connect the humanities and the social sciences. After reading English at King's College London, he became a chartered accountant and worked for four years at PricewaterhouseCoopers' London office, where his most recent role was to help businesses in financial difficulty. His experience of these two very different worlds motivated him to write this book.
