Plot summary The scene of this novel is Paris , where the branch of a well known London bank is being audited. A normally routine affair, this year s audit is different the auditors have reason to believe that there may be fraud or embezzlement at play. How do the auditors know this? A few indiscreet words overheard at a Paris nightclub . Our attention is turned to each player, some major and many minor, the bank officials and overseers of the audit of course, but mostly to the underpaid, unhappy junior and senior auditors, each a prisoner of his own private conflicts and aspirations, and each seeing the discovery and proving of the fraud as his chance for promotion. The novel makes the seemingly boring task of auditing understandable and delves into the hearts of those who make business their life s work. ref Marshall, B The Accounting Houghton Mifflin 1958. ref References reflist BruceMarshall DEFAULTSORT Accounting Category Novels by Bruce Marshall Category 1958 novels Category Scottish novels Category Paris in fiction ... more details

A concept first named by Richard Thaler 1980 , mental accounting attempts to describe the process whereby people code, categorize and evaluate economic outcomes. One detailed application of mental accounting, the behavioral life cycle hypothesis Shefrin & Thaler, 1988 , posits that people mentally frame assets as belonging to either current income, current wealth or future income and this has implications for their behavior as the accounts are largely non fungible and marginal propensity to consume out of each account is different. Mental accounting, utility, value and transaction In mental accounting theory, framing means that the way a person subjectively frames a transaction in their mind will determine the utility they receive or expect. This concept is similarly used in prospect theory , and many mental accounting theorists adopt that theory as the value function prospect theory value function in their analysis.
