“…Extant research on the nexus between accounting and stigma has considered examples where accounting is present (Miley & Read, 2016;Ó hÓgartaigh et al, 2012;Walker, 2008), but our research suggests that examining accounting absence can also enhance our understanding of the complex relationship between accounting and stigma. Though accounting failure caused circumstances that supported the ongoing stigmatisation of the Indigenous population, the stigma would not have ended from the simple expedient of an accounting presence in the management of stolen wages because the stigma was grounded in entrenched social factors (Elkin, 1964), not accounting failure.…”

“…The role of accounting in creating, supporting or maintaining stigma has been a recurring research theme (McKinley, Ponemon, & Schick, 1996;Miley & Read, 2016;Neu & Wright, 1992;Ó hÓgartaigh, Ó hÓgartaigh, & Tyson, 2012;Walker, 2008). Although not explicitly dealing with stigma, much of the research on (ab)uses of accounting control mechanisms by one group to dominate another could be reconstructed as uses of accounting mechanisms to reinforce stigma (Alawattage & Wickramasinghe, 2009;Neu, 2000;Oldroyd, Fleischman, & Tyson, 2008;Tyson, Oldroyd, & Fleischman, 2005).…”

“…2 Among these, the role of accounting in facilitating the horrors perpetrated by the Holocaust/Nazism stands out for its pioneering character and compelling illustrations, with the seminal study by Funnell (1998) followed by other enlightening contributions, including Lippman (2009), Lippman and Wilson (2007) and Walker (2000). Other themes featuring in ‘dark side’ studies include the Irish Famine (Funnell, 2001; O’Regan, 2010), the Highland Clearances (Walker, 2003a), poverty (Care, 2011; Holden et al, 2009; O’Hogartaigh et al, 2012; Servalli, 2013; Walker, 2004, 2008), war and financial reporting (Chwastiak, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2008; Chwastiak and Lehman, 2008; Chwastiak and Young, 2003; Cooper and Catchpowle, 2009), indigenous dispossession (Gibson, 2000; Greer, 2009; Hooper and Kearins, 2008; Neu, 2000a, 2000b; Neu and Graham, 2004; Neu and Heincke, 2004), indentured labour (Irvine, 2004; Tyson and Davie, 2009), accounting for imperialism/accounting and empire (Annisette and Neu, 2004; Bakre, 2008; Davie, 2000, 2005a), race and ethnicity (Annisette, 2003; Davie, 2005b; Hammond and Streeter, 2013; Kim, 2004a; Poullaos, 2009; Sidhu and West, 2014), gender (Kim, 2004b; Kirkham and Loft, 2013; Lehman, 2012) and class (Walker, 2002). Despite their diversity, these studies all evidence that, far from being a neutral technology, accounting has long played an active role in dehumanising, exploiting and degrading human beings.…”

“…The costs of Irish poor relief also feature in the work of Ó'Hogartaigh et al., who examine whether official accounting frameworks served to stigmatize the poor in pre‐famine Ireland. Concentrating on the period after the introduction of the Irish poor law in 1837, the authors employ a case study methodology, focusing on Castlebar Union in the West of Ireland, to test whether the poor law accounting apparatus served to stigmatize recipients of poor relief.…”
