Try to look for the silver lining
Article Abstract:
Accountants, and perhaps British accountants in particular, tend to take a conservative approach to social and political change. This is attributable to what is called "the audit mentality" stemming from the accountant's continual search to present information in traditional and acceptable forms, no matter how unique the data may be. A member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales discusses how conservatism is the psychological and attitudinal mind-set that prevents the Institute from effectively planning for the future or revising its practices to meet current challenges. Examples of needed changes that have come about in the profession, such as advertising for accounting firms, and the development of current cost accounting to reflect inflationary pressures on profitability, are briefly described.
