On Being a Financial Manager in a Church Organisation: Understanding the Experience

Lightbody, Margaret, "On Being a Financial Manager in a Church Organisation: Understanding the Experience" . Financial Accountability & Management, Vol. 19, pp. 117-138, May 2003

Abstract:

    Accountants and financial managers, as individuals and as occupational groups, are largely invisible in the growing body of financial management literature. In particular, limited privilege has been given to the experiences of financial managers in organisations dominated by social or value-based goals, rather than financial motives. To begin to address this lacunae, this paper presents a micro study of financial managers "in motion" in the state division of a large Australian church. By explicating the financial managers' own perspectives of their experiences, the study provides a unique perspective of understanding of what it is to "be" a financial manager in a non-profit entity.
