Abstract
This study investigates the historical role of the annual general meeting (AGM) and, in particular, examines the role of the AGM as an accountability mechanism. Few studies have adopted the context of the AGM, or organizational meetings generally, as a site for studying accounting's role. The specific setting for this study, a ladies tea club, is also novel as a locale for accounting research more generally. In this regard, the article attempts to advance an appreciation of the role of accounting in everyday life. The investigation involves a review of the minutes of the AGM of the Edinburgh University Tea Club for a period of 25 years from the time of its establishment in 1920. Such a review reveals a rich social history of the club's operations and provides a context for a more complete understanding of accounting's role in organizational and social functioning.Preview Only.
