Abstract

We adopt a structured literature review methodology to review the literature on the impact of informal institutions on accounting outcomes. We address three key questions: How is research on the impact of informal institutions on accounting outcomes developing? What is the focus and critiques of the literature on the impact of informal institutions on accounting outcomes? Finally, what is the future for research on the impact of informal institutions on accounting outcomes? We contribute to the international accounting literature by producing a study that reviews this lively research area, enabling valuable and impactful future research in this field.
