Abstract | Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to review the development, the increasing influence and impact, direct and indirect, of economic rationalism on the financial recording and reporting reform agenda of the Australian public sector. A focus of this paper will be to explore whether these reforms could be more appropriately considered to be rationalised myths adopted for reasons other than their purported advantages. |
