As researchers reveal the increasing complexities of accounting practices in emerging economies, there is a growing need for an overview of the topic. The Routledge Companion to Accounting in Emerging Economies is a prestige work offering an introduction to current scholarship in the field, with indications of future directions for enhancing the contribution to knowledge.

With regional coverage of key emerging economies such as Brazil, Russia, India and China, the team of contributors analyse issues in accounting in detail, while shedding light on the role of the accounting profession in providing accountability and governance across the developing world. Each chapter is headed up by an internationally recognised author who is a leading expert in designing and implementing research approaches to the topic. Within the team of authors, some are experienced senior contributors while others are developing new avenues of exploration on the basis of high-quality doctoral study. This range of author experience has been deliberately chosen to allow the reader to envisage working in such a team while growing in confidence.

This unique reference offers a comprehensive guide to advanced students, academics, practitioners and policy makers on the current state of, and potential developments in, accounting in developing economies globally. This work will be of particular interest to students and researchers looking to identify topics in emerging economies, academics and practitioners seeking convenient access to an unfamiliar area, and established researchers seeking a single repository on the current state of knowledge, current debates and relevant literature.

Industry Reviews

'A comprehensive guide full of insightful information for those who want to enhance their current stock of knowledge on international best practices for accounting, governance and accountability in emerging economies ... a must-read primer for higher degrees by research students, practitioners and consultants.' - Professor Zahirul Hoque, La Trobe Business School, La Trobe University, Australia

'This handbook is a welcome and timely addition to the limited literature on accounting in emerging economies - timely in particular because there is a need to shift the focus away from the much-examined developed capital market economies, towards settings and jurisdictions of which less is known and published in the English language. It is a welcome reminder that accounting practice, regulation and the accounting profession are not homogenous, but subject to local as well as global socio-economic and political influences. In essence, this book provides a wealth of resources for the classroom as well as for researchers.' - Professor Lisa Evans, University of Stirling, UK

'It is a privilege to endorse Part IV of this book, especially Chapter 21 offers an authoritative and up-to-date overview of research in accounting in emerging economies from the leading researchers in the world, including its main originator, Professor Trevor Hopper.' - Professor Collins Ntim, Professor of Accounting and Deputy Head of Southampton Business School, University of Southampton, UK

"Weetman and Tsalavoutas provide a solid view of the challenges of implementing Western accounting principles and practices in emerging countries and the challenges that researchers face in disseminating their work. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals."
