A Humane Reckoning - From Accounting to Accountability at Macquarie University

The shape of early Accounting Studies at Macquarie would, inpart, be made not by the particular shape of the discipline more broadly, but bythe early presence and strengths of these figures [Harry Edwards, Noel T Draneand A.H. "Alf" Pollard].

If Frank Clarke's Newcastle focused on accounting history; and Wollongong on critical accounting; Macquarie under Graeme Harrison was marked by a coherent diversity.… [Reeve] would create a complementary relationship of great power: Graeme would write the reports, Reeve the systems and numbers. "He would do the words", noted Reeve, "and I would write the music".

Fiji had influenced Patel to be a peacemaker, while the influence of his supervisor, Harrison, had imprinted on him the need for an open door policy on leadership: he would spend hours everyday working directly with people.

An early start was made with theUniversity Review of Structure in 2009, shrinking nine divisions down to four faculties. … The new "accountability" environment was also reflected, two years later, in a new name for the Department, "Accounting and Corporate Governance".
