PhD defence: Ida Marie Schrøder

With this dissertation, I take up a question that is currently debated within both popular, political and academic arenas: Namely how management accounting practices informs and interferes with professional decision-making in public sector organizations.  However, instead criticising how procedures are pushed in certain directions by either “accounting” or “caring” practices, I investigate how, when and where the hybridisation between “accounting” and “caring” is practically achieved. The aim of this is not to replace or reject earlier critiques, but to add insights into the present work of public sector accounting and caring professionals. For instance insights about how it is possible to make conclusions about costs, when a child’s life is at stake.
