Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to show how The Audit Society was oriented towards, not just accounting scholars but also towards social scientific enquiry more broadly. Design/methodology/approach - This is a reflective review of the impact that Mike Power’s The Audit Society has had on social science. Findings - The authors find that The Audit Society successfully built conceptual bridges “up” and “out” towards other social science disciplines. Research limitations/implications - The authors highlight the importance of theorizing “up” and “out” for present day accounting scholars. Originality/value - The authors offer a personal reflection on The Audit Society which has influenced the own study in various ways.
