The research group aims at analysing the role of accounting and accountability systems in the enactment of governance prerogatives. Accounting systems are examined as instruments of direction and power in the hands of the actors who possess governmental prerogatives within companies and institutions. Particularly, research focuses on operating procedures and impacts that accounting systems produce in the context of recovery processes after natural disasters, as well as on the related implications in terms of accountability of the bodies responsible for reconstruction. Implementation processes of compliance programs, meant as useful instruments to achieve good corporate governance, are also investigated. In this regard, the research group examines which circumstances favourite corporate members’ internalisation of behavioural principles typical of these corporate governance instruments. All the analyses refer to interpretative proposals of the international lines of "critical and interpretative accounting". The main pubblication of the research group are the following:
