Accounting Quality and Its Challenges in 21 st Century

Abstract

This paper describes current research to drive future research challenges in accounting quality. The definition of accounting quality is mainly varying depend- ing on the objective that the study pointed. Previous research revealed that many proxies describe the accounting quality but most of them from the financial per- spective. Furthermore, this paper tries to expose this research issue in the behav- ioural approach and drive future research in the mixed method. It concludes that the behavioural issues can be a research model, triggering future research challenges in accounting quality. The authors support these triggers from the perspectives of political hegemony, bureaucracy ratcheting, cognitive distortion, and international accounting standard. Finally, we infer and simultaneously predict that accounting quality would broaden its concepts and lasting impression in the 21st century
