Abstract

This article introduces some accounting theories that few researchers have addressed. In general, these theories are called “critical accounting theory”. The main feature of these theories is that, all of them are regarded accounting as a social science and believed the fact that scientific method (as a research way) in covering all the requirements of the accounting research has some notable limitations. Along with offering some of the most important ideas of each theory, we present some accounting researches in compliance with any theory.
