It is our contention that accountants have typically sought to reduce uncertain situations into a framework characterized by well structured tasks and highly measureable outputs. We review the literature on budgetary and organizational control in the light of this argument. Furthermore, we describe the many kinds of behaviors that can result from the efforts of subordinates to distort the information system to their desired ends when they find themselves operating outside the structured and measureable framework.
