Towards Integrated Reporting
This book focuses on the accounting change processes that drive integrated reporting in the public sector. The Integrated Report is a tool that allows public sector entities to quantify and convey those aspects of their organization, strategy, governance and performance that lead to the creation of public value over time. To be successfully introduced, integrated reporting must follow a specific path of accounting change. The context in which public sector entities operate, and the unique relationship between the public sector and the environment, redefine the accounting process of change to deliver an integrated report. The authors provide a fresh look at integrated reporting on the basis of the accounting change processes that drive it, helping academics and practitioners to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and benefits in terms of public value creation.
Management Accounting Change from a Hybrid Institutional and Managerial Perspective
The current research aims towards the development of a multi-approached theoretical framework that will facilitate the understanding and explanation of management accounting change process experienced within organizations.

Even though the main focus is placed on the intra organisational dynamics that may be activated to encourage change within an organization, environmental pressures for change are also being distinctly considered. In particular, it determines the key role of the external institutiona...
Institutions of Higher Education and Institutional Economics
Purpose: This paper investigates the management accounting structure of higher education institutions in Greece and their management's willingness to adopt cost-effective strategies and proactively encourage structural changes in order to improve its modus operandi and ultimately, provide a higher quality working environment for its staff and students. Design/methodology/approach: Through a qualitative field research which was carried out in all Greek higher education institutions. Findings: The qualitative findings that derive from the field interviews indicate that management has myopically disregarded these issues or simply did not understand their importance. Research limitations/implications: Problems were encountered during the interviews. The results suggest that not all interview questions were understood by the respondents, which could be caused by the use of terms and concepts during the interviews with which the respondents were unfamiliar. Originality/value: This paper contributes to the body of literature because it focuses on Universities in Greece, their managerial pitfalls and initiatives to improve conditions, an under-researched area.
