The Routledge Companion to Accounting in Emerging Economies

'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."
