The results of the study revealed that the interpretive paradigm became very relevant to be used in the scope of accounting research to express the true realities that occur between accountant and science of accounting, the environment, and organizational culture. The results of this study also reveal that social theory ethnographic, ethnomethodology, phenomenology, symbolic interactions and structuration in their methodology provide a variety of concerns that want to be expressed in different ways and focus of observation.
