Overview
About the programme
Accounting is often described as “the language of business” and it is used to communicate financial and non-financial information internally and externally to the organization. Control refers to the mechanisms used to manage an organization so that it moves towards its objectives.
Accounting is a crucial aspect of managerial aspirations for control, which needs to be considered in relation to a broad set of control mechanisms, decision models and information sources. This makes it important to understand how accounting and control can be designed and used and how it affects - and is affected by - individuals, organizations, and society.
In the Accounting and Control Group at Luleå University of Technology we aim to contribute to this understanding by conducting research in our broad field of study.
