Recently, the role of a managerial accountant is widely discussed in the scholars. Johnson and Kaplan (1991) argue that management accounting is “too late, too aggregated, and too distorted to be relevant for managers’ planning and control decisions” (1).

Abstract

In May 2013 – like 1999 and previous disasters – many people were killed by tornadoes, apart from hundreds being injured and a lot of property being destroyed in Oklahoma. Despite being a yearly event, the government has not made any progress in the way of controlling these disasters, due to the difficulty of predicting them. From the effects of the disasters, the government has remained reactive, and this led to the conclusion that it should declare the area inhabitable. This is likely the best solution to the problem, because the death, injury and the destruction of property is massive, and the people ...

On the other hand, deontology, which is a theory that was developed by Kant, identifies rightness through the features of acts as opposed to the outcomes. For instance, in case consequentialism needs to sacrifice an innocent person for the greater benefit, deontology can end up forbidding this move on the basis that it violates the rights of innocent persons, or rather lead to the violation of various ...
