Problem
a) How can Positive Accounting Theory integrate multiple disciplines, such as economics, psychology, and sociology, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of accounting behavior and decision making?
b) In the context of Positive Accounting Theory, how do political and social forces influence the setting of accounting standards, and what impact do they have on the quality of financial information provided by companies?
c) Given the importance of objectivity and empiricism in Positive Accounting Theory, how can accounting practitioners and researchers ensure that their research is based on valid data and evidence, and free from bias and distortion?
