    Ó hÓgartaigh, Ciarán (2000) Accounting for Feminisation and the Feminisation of Accounting in Ireland: Gender and self-evaluation in the context of uncertain accounting information. Irish Business and Administrative Research, 21 (1): 9. pp. 147-167. ISSN 0332-1118

    Abstract

    Accounting is a discipline defined by its context (Freear, 1977). In recent years, the context of accounting has changed dramatically in a nwnber of respects. The transactions and events which accounting attempts to represent are subject to increasing uncertainty. Account­ ing standard-setters have reacted by requiring that financial statements recognise and disclose the "substance" of transactions rather than their legal form. More extensive discloswes of uncertainty are also required.
