Research Focus
The ARC Accountability Research Cluster in KBS has a focus on accountability, power and trust within an over-arching frame of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Common Good. Our work addresses issues of expertise in society, the socially constitutive role of accounting, and the way in which accounting and forms of accountability mediate and shape how we understand and respond to risk.
Ongoing research within the cluster addresses these broad themes in domains including tax practice, credit risk, history of the professions, language in mainstream and social media, ethics and expertise and gender issues.
The cluster is interdisciplinary in its approach, with experience and expertise from sociology, accounting, history, risk management, linguistics, visual design and marketing.
