COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course combines accounting and sociology. Accounting can be said to influence
society, vice versa. The society in which accounting is developed helps to determine
how accounting is practiced. By realizing this, it would be clear that different
environment, culture and religions would form different accounting practices.
Further, it would be possible to take a critical stance that accounting can be changed
according to beliefs/values/faith. Especially critical sociology must be apprehended to
constantly trigger willingness to change, emancipate and enlighten the accounting
discipline.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
The course is expected to (1) understand how accounting discipine and practices are
intertwined with economy, society, culture, politic, religions, etc; (2) enrich oneself
with stock of accounting knowledge, (3) continuously improve oneself (self
empowerment) to help society.
