| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research study focus on the role of accounting in Japan, from the First World War through just after the Second World War. The key concept is the loose-knit network, which implies that accounting regulation is not so rigid as usually expected. Our findings is the possibility of negotiations between involved parties with using accounting data. In a manufacturing factory, costing method was not fully compatible with the regulation prescribed by military. The company insisted the legitimacy of its own costing methods and persuaded military to accept its methods. This case suggests that even accounting standards were not firm and uniform, actually they were so flexible that there are some rooms for negotiations.
