摘要

本文对会计准则制定的政治性进行了批判性分析。国际会计准则理事会(IASB)在全球范围内的会计监管中扮演着日益垄断的角色,并声称其透明度、中立性和卓越的专业知识使其霸权地位合法化。2009 年,国际会计准则理事会将其准则制定工作扩展到上市实体之外,制定了《中小型企业国际财务报告准则》(IFRS for SMEs)。本文探讨了围绕这一扩展的政治对立,发现国际会计准则理事会开展这一项目是为了阻止来自多个机构的反驳意见。为了解读国际会计准则理事会扩展的政治性,本文借鉴了拉克劳和穆夫的霸权理论以及格利诺斯和豪沃斯的政治逻辑,认为国际会计准则理事会通过以其高超的专业知识为说辞来否定和阻挠替代方案,从而维持并扩展了霸权,最终使其能够将先进的金融资本和资本市场的意识形态扩展到新的空间。

Maintaining and extending hegemony: The politics of accounting standard setting

This paper offers a critical analysis of the politics of accounting standard setting. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) hold an increasingly monopolistic role in accounting regulation across the globe, and make claims to transparency, neutrality and superior expertise to legitimize their hegemonic position. In 2009 the IASB extended their standard setting beyond listed entities to the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-Sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs). This paper explores the political antagonisms surrounding this extension, finding that the IASB undertook this project to block counter articulations from several bodies. To unpack the politics of the IASB’s extension this paper draws on Laclau and Mouffe’s hegemony and Glynos and Howarth’s political logics, to argue that the IASB maintain and extend hegemony by dismissing and blocking alternatives through the rhetoric of superior expertise, which ultimately enables them to extend ideologies of advanced financial capital and capital markets to new spaces.

期刊介绍: Critical Perspectives on Accounting aims to provide a forum for the growing number of accounting researchers and practitioners who realize that conventional theory and practice is ill-suited to the challenges of the modern environment, and that accounting practices and corporate behavior are inextricably connected with many allocative, distributive, social, and ecological problems of our era. From such concerns, a new literature is emerging that seeks to reformulate corporate, social, and political activity, and the theoretical and practical means by which we apprehend and affect that activity. Research Areas Include: • Studies involving the political economy of accounting, critical accounting, radical accounting, and accounting''s implication in the exercise of power • Financial accounting''s role in the processes of international capital formation, including its impact on stock market stability and international banking activities • Management accounting''s role in organizing the labor process • The relationship between accounting and the state in various social formations • Studies of accounting''s historical role, as a means of "remembering" the subject''s social and conflictual character • The role of accounting in establishing "real" democracy at work and other domains of life • Accounting''s adjudicative function in international exchanges, such as that of the Third World debt • Antagonisms between the social and private character of accounting, such as conflicts of interest in the audit process • The identification of new constituencies for radical and critical accounting information • Accounting''s involvement in gender and class conflicts in the workplace • The interplay between accounting, social conflict, industrialization, bureaucracy, and technocracy • Reappraisals of the role of accounting as a science and technology • Critical reviews of "useful" scientific knowledge about organizations
