N2 - The very limited attention paid to the conditions of contemporary accounting labour by critical accounting researchers constitutes a significant oversight in the development of the critical accounting project to date. This paper seeks to repair the situation by identifying a research agenda for the study of accounting labour informed by the existing theoretical and empirical literatures. It also offers a strong statement of the change-orientated imperative of critical accounting, and discusses the relevance of critical accounting for accounting practitioners.
