Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to investigate the issues concerning female accountants who work at the Big4 in Japan through interviews and literature reviews utilizing qualitative research methods. More specially, we wish to shed light on the under representation of female accountants from the view point of business structures. The relationship between accountants and clients is long-term and stable. Because of this, the evaluation of the performance of accountants had become problematic. This resulted in the accountant's strong commitments to the Big4 by working long hours which is a vital criterion for their promotion.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

欧米において女性会計士が監査法人でキャリアを形成していく上で直面する問題に関する研究は,1980年代に着手され,かなりの程度の蓄積がある.しかし,日本で女性会計士の現状を体系的に分析した研究は,その社会・経済的な重要性がますます増加するにもかかわらず見られていない.一方,大手監査法人における会計士の働き方は,監査の品質へ影響を与える重要な課題として捉えられる.そこで,本研究は,女性会計士の増加・定着の阻害要因について,日本の専門職の働き方や監査法人の組織構造を考慮に入れ検討することにより,一石を投じている.
