Abstract

. This paper offers some impressions of current research in accounting. Three themes are identified: Movement toward imbedding accounting thought in (1) a setting that accommodates substitutes for the accounting product, (2) a dynamic view of the environment in which the accounting product is used, and (3) a model of human cognition that generates explicit demand for decision support activities. It is also suggested that closer correlation between theoretical and empirical research would be productive. Résumé. Cet article présente quelques impressions sur la recherche actuelle en comptabilité. Trois thèmes sont identifiés. Un mouvement visant à enchâsser la pensée comptable dans (1) un cadre qui inclut les compléments au produit comptable (2) une vision dynamique de l'environnement dans lequel le produit comptable est utilisé et (3) un modèle de connaissance humaine qui génère une demande explicite pour des activités de support à la prise de décision. Il est également suggéré qu'une corrélation plus étroite entre la recherche théorique et empirique serait productive.
