Abstract
Accounting systems find their meaning and nature in the historical and social context of the organisations of which they are part. These social and technical aspects are amplified and their interrelationships traced through a specific study of the accounting systems in the Church of England. Although many of the insights are situation specific to this institution, some more general points are raised.
