  • Strategic Change, Leadership and Accounting: a Triptych of Organizational Reform
    Strategic Change, Leadership and Accounting: a triptych of organizational reform Abstract Strategic change in public sector organizations – especially in the form of increasing infiltration of ideas and practices emanating from the private sector – has been well documented. This article argues that accounting and other calculative practices have only been accorded limited roles in extant accounts of public sector strategic change initiatives. This article suggests that public management research would benefit from a greater appreciation of how calculative practices are deeply imbricated and constitutive of organizational life. In turn, the paper argues that the field of interdisciplinary accounting has much to learn from public administration, especially in terms of the latter’s engagement with leadership. The article’s overarching argument is that understanding strategic change in public organizations can be enhanced by bringing together insights from the academic fields of Public Administration and Interdisciplinary Accounting. This is particularly the case in circumstances where an accounting innovation is central to a strategic change programme. In this respect, organizational reform can be understood as a triptych, involving strategic change, leadership and accounting practices. We illustrate this thesis through a case study of strategic change in the world’s largest public service broadcaster – The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). It is demonstrated how, during the tenure of one organizational leader – John Birt - accounting technologies increasingly territorialized spaces, subjectivized individuals, mediated between the organization and the State, and permitted adjudication on what was efficient and value for money within the organization and what was not. Introduction This article seeks to analyse the interplay between leadership, strategic change and accounting.

  • A Judge Will Introduce Michael Jackson to 300 Pros
    Jackson's trial to open Monday By Martin Kasindorf, USA TODAY LOS ANGELES — A judge will introduce Michael Jackson to 300 prospective jurors Monday as the pop star's trial opens on charges of molesting a 13-year- old boy and conspiring to cover it up. Michael Jackson leaves court in Santa Maria, Calif., on Jan. 16, 2004, with his sister Janet. Pool photo by Spencer Weiner Lawyers on both sides who have clashed through a year of pretrial hearings estimate jury selection will take a month in Santa Maria, a farm town of 85,000 known for vineyards and strawberries. Testimony might take four to five months. (Related story: The key players) It shapes up as an extraordinary trial. Jackson, 46, is possibly the most prominent international star ever to be prosecuted. Though his career peaked in the 1980s, when his albums Thriller and Bad sold millions, he remains an icon in Japan, Britain and other countries. Court sessions won't be televised, but cable news, TV gossip shows and supermarket tabloids are planning heavy coverage on a bet that Jackson's fame will attract audiences as the O.J. Simpson murder trial did in 1995. Jackson's fans are expected to besiege the courthouse in Santa Barbara County, 160 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Jackson has been free on $3 million bail since his arrest in November 2003. In April, he pleaded not guilty to a 10-count indictment. The document alleges that Jackson plied the child with alcohol, groped him and plotted with his aides to coerce the boy and his family into taping a video exonerating Jackson of wrongdoing.

  • Martin-Bashir-Appointment-Review.Pdf
    A review to establish the facts around the decision by the BBC to appoint Martin Bashir as Religious Affairs Correspondent in September 2016 and the subsequent re-grading of the role to Religion Editor in 2018 Introduction 1. On 21 May 2021, The Right Honourable Lord Dyson published his report into the circumstances surrounding the interview with Diana, Princess of Wales, which aired on Panorama on 20 November 1995 (“Dyson Report”). Lord Dyson found that Martin Bashir had behaved in a “reprehensible” manner which was in serious breach of the BBC’s editorial standards. He concluded that Martin Bashir had deceived Earl Spencer into introducing him to Diana, Princess of Wales, by showing him fake bank statements on two separate occasions, and that he had fed Diana, Princess of Wales with false information “to play on her fears in order to arouse her interest in him”. Lord Dyson also criticised the BBC for (among other things) failing to adequately investigate Martin Bashir’s conduct. 2. The BBC has accepted Lord Dyson’s findings in full. In light of the findings in the Dyson Report, and in particular the criticisms made about Martin Bashir’s integrity, the BBC has faced questions about how Martin Bashir came to be re-employed by the BBC in 2016 as Religious Affairs Correspondent. In the interests of transparency and as part of the BBC’s public commitment to getting to the truth, I was asked by the Director-General to undertake a review into the facts surrounding the decision by the BBC to appoint Martin Bashir in 2016 as Religious Affairs Correspondent and the decision to re-grade his role to Religion Editor in 2018.

  • Annex 1: BBC One Panorama Interview
    EXTRACTS FROM PRESS LOGS 6th April 1996 NCA/PANORAMA/MARTIN BASHIR/MAIL ON SUNDAY From Richard Peel, C.CINCA. John Ryan (Asst Ed, MoS) said the MoS was conducting an investigation into a series of documents, designed to resemble bank statements, which were commissioned by `Panorama' reporter Martin Bashir. Ryan said the statements purported to show details of a joint bank account held by Mr Robert Harper & Mr Alan Waller, trading as Weider Health and Fitness. He said the statements had been created by a BBC graphics artist. Ryan asked a series of questions about the documents: who had commissioned them, had their authenticity been called into question, and were any senior BBC staff informed about concerns over their veracity? After consulting Tony Hall, MD NCA, Editor `Panorama' Steve Hewlett, and DCA, gave MoS the following statement: "The draft graphic reconstructions on which this story are based have no validity and have never been published. They were set up in the early part of an investigation and were discarded when some of the information could not be substantiated. They were never in any way connected to the `Panorama' on Princess Diana, and there was never any intention to publish them in the form in which they have been leaked. Their use would never have been sanctioned at a higher editorial level, and if they had been transmitted it would have been a clear breach of our editorial guidelines." HCPR aware. From Kevan McClair, Press O. Follow-up calls received from Clive Goodman (NoW), Steve Ball (S.Times), Helen Johnstone (S.Tel), and Vikram Dodd (Obs).

Questions 1 - 196 Witnesses I: Tony Hall, The Lord Hall of Birkenhead, former Director-General of the BBC. II: John Birt, The Lord Birt, former Director-General of the BBC. III: Tim Davie CBE, Director-General, BBC; and Richard Sharp, Chairman, BBC. Examination of witness Witness: Lord Hall. Q1 Chair: This is the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee and a special hearing into the work of the BBC in the light of the Bashir scandal. We are joined today by three panels and four witnesses. The first panel witness is Lord Hall, former Director-General of the BBC. In the second panel we have Lord Birt, former Director-General of the BBC. We are joined in the third panel by Tim Davie, the current Director-General, and Richard Sharp, the current Chairman.

Chair: Lord Hall, welcome back. Lord Hall: Good morning. Chair: It is not too long since your last appearance before us.

Lord Hall: Let me start off, if I might, by acknowledging how hard the Lord Dyson investigation has been for the royal family and the two princes, and I am sorry for the hurt caused.

  • BBC, Panorama & Martin Bashir
    BBC, PANORAMA & MARTIN BASHIR (Supplement 13 November 2020) Further to my complaint of 3 November, which I shall refer to as DH1, I would wish to supplement it in the light of subsequent events and further disclosures. Summary. • The Director-General of the BBC now accepts that there should be an independent and robust enquiry. • The position of the BBC has significantly altered. Initially they indicated that the matter had been sufficiently investigated in 1996. • This shifted to saying that they would investigate if anything new was brought to their attention. • Now the Director-General accepts that should be such an enquiry. • There should be an independent enquiry, but it should not be regulated by the BBC themselves nor should the BBC set the terms of reference. • The purpose of this document is to comment on the documents which the BBC eventually produced on 19 October 2020. Their disclosure is not complete and the documents have been significantly redacted. I can only comment on what I have seen and what is presently available. Those advocating an independent enquiry. • It is reported in The Times of 11 November 2020 that Number 10 feels there should be an independent enquiry. (I have referred to a number of articles in the press. I am assuming that Ofcom have copies. I can provide them if requested.) • This also appears to be the view of Lord Grade, a former chairman of the BBC. Lord Grade is quoted in the Daily Mail of 9 November as saying My feeling is very, very strongly that there should be an urgent independent enquiry to get all the facts into the public domain about what happened in the same way as the BBC would be calling for an independent enquiry if they were looking at alleged misbehaviour by some government department or some business or other.
