Special issue on governing by numbers: audit culture and contemporary tales of universities’ accountability

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstract

Abstract

The QRAM Special Issue encourages submissions, based on case studies and other qualitative methodologies, in different contexts and from scholars across disciplines. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following issues:

• Which (and how) accounting and accountability challenges are influenced by the institutional changes in the high education field (e.g. the “leaking” of external funds, competition, rankings, ratings, public value and accountability)?

• How do internal and external university stakeholders use their accounting and accountability models?

• How do academics cope with the new “audit culture” and “calculative technologies” of hybrid universities?

• What are the effects for academics of new forms of control and accountability?

• How does the new “audit culture” challenge the role of professionals in universities?

• What are the main aspects of external and internal auditing within the context of universities?

• How can empirical studies on “audit culture” and “calculative technologies” in the academia contribute to accounting and accountability theories?
