“…Where prior studies have considered the construction and design of new spaces specifically designed to improve efficiency and enforce discipline (Carmona et al, 1997(Carmona et al, , 2002Labardin, 2014;Walsh and Stewart, 1993), the present study has considered the recording studio, a space that was originally designed to maximise the sonic quality of recordings taking place within that space. Thus, the findings of this study further our understanding of accounting's ability to transform the spaces that produce cultural products that soundtrack our everyday lives (Hopwood, 1994;Jeacle, 2021) and extend our understanding of accounting's ability to support the disciplining of space beyond traditional locales such as the factory and the office to the musical space of the recording studio.…”

“…Accounting influences the creation of the cultural products that mark our existence yet little remains known about the extent of accounting's influence in this regard (Hopwood, 1994; Jeacle, 2021). Research motivated by this notion, however, has attempted to rectify this by considering the historic role of accounting in entertainment (Jeacle, 2021; Rentschler et al, 2021) including popular music and classical music (Balluchi et al, 2021; De Loo and Davis, 2003; Jacobs and Evans, 2012; Miley and Read, 2017; Smith and Jacobs, 2011). These articles represent welcome forays into the relationship between the creative, ‘magical’ practices commonly associated with the creation of music alongside the perceived restrictions that accounting would have on such practices (Negus, 1995).…”

This research considers the relationship between accounting and physical space, focusing on the creation of musical recordings within the musical and ‘magical’ space of Abbey Road Studios during the 1960s. Building on prior studies that have utilised the work of Foucault to theorise accounting's ability to contribute to making space more disciplinary, this study highlights how, at the beginning of the 1960s, accounting was part of a wider regime that rendered the non-disciplinary, musical space of the recording studio visible and controllable in order to standardise musical recording practices. As the period progressed, and against a backdrop of cultural revolution in 1960s Britain, existing rules and procedures were circumvented by musicians, producers and engineers who utilised experimental practices to create non-standardised, ‘magical’, sonic worlds. Control over the musical space of the recording studio waned and so too did accounting's ability to capture and manage the emergent creative practices.

“…As recognised by accounting researchers in modernday contexts, exhibitions represent arenas in which diverse calculative practices may be operationalised and rendered visible (Ferry and Slack, 2022). Exhibitions also offer considerable scope for extending our knowledge of the role of accounting and accountants in the fields of culture and entertainment (Jeacle, 2012(Jeacle, , 2021.…”

Managing a shower of silver: Accounting, control and audit at the Great Exhibition, 1851

Although widely acknowledged as a foremost event of the Victorian age, accounting aspects of the Great Exhibition of 1851 have received limited attention. This article analyses accounting, control and audit at what was the first ‘universal’ Exhibition. Specific foci include the adoption of a cash-based accounting and financial reporting regimen, systems for protecting substantial volumes of cash and the nature of external and internal auditing. Insights are provided into the contemporary operation of these practices in a substantially unexplored setting. Visibility is also given to the role of the backstage personnel in the accounting and finance function, particularly the Financial Officer, who applied knowledge and skills drawn from the Commissariat Service. The latter analysis augments our understanding of the significance of the military in the development of accounting in nineteenth-century Britain. The study reflects on the research potential of exhibitions as a site for exploring diverse themes in accounting history.
