    BUILDING THE LATTER-DAY KINGDOM IN THE AMERICAS: THE FLORIDA FORT LAUDERDALE MISSION By GAYLE LASATER PAGNONI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 Gayle Lasater Pagnoni 2 To Lou, Dirk and Gracie, and Drew 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without my advisers at the University of Florida including my supervisor, Anna Peterson, and committee members, David Hackett, Whitney Sanford, and Marianne Schmink. These four scholars and four important communities are among those I remember as instrumental to my completion of the doctoral degree: the academic community at the University of Florida (UF); Florida International University (FIU); the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and its Florida Fort Lauderdale Mission (FFLM); and my loved ones. At UF, I thank those pioneers in our department who envisioned a new doctoral program organized to innovatively think about the study of religion through three tracks: Religion in the Americas, Asian Religions, and Religion and Nature. My interests have always been religion and politics in the Americas, with interests in the environment so this program was a good fit. Second, I thank the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for awarding to me the Aschoff Dissertation Writing Award, and to the Madelyn Lockhart Dissertation Fellowship Committee for choosing me as a finalist. Both awards facilitated my research and writing. I am most indebted to Dr. Anna Peterson, University of Florida Latin Americanist, environmentalist, and ethicist, as chair of my dissertation committee, teaching supervisor, and mentor extraordinaire.

    Socialising Accountability in a Religious Charity

    1 SOCIALISING ACCOUNTABILITY IN A RELIGIOUS CHARITY ORGANISATION Les Hardy Department of Accounting & Finance Monash University Gippsland Campus Churchill, Victoria, Australia 3842 [email protected] Harry Ballis School of Humanities, Communications & Social Sciences Monash University Gippsland Campus Churchill, Victoria, Australia, 3842 [email protected] 2 Abstract The dual classification of hierarchical and socialising forms of accountability has proved useful in assisting accounting and accountability researchers to consider accountability beyond the confines of technical considerations. However, researchers concur that the two forms of accountability overlap and are interdependent. This paper presents empirical data highlighting how socialising accountability has been adopted by one religious charity organisation - the Sanitarium Health Food Company – as the principle means to report on its activities to constituents and the wider public. The paper explores both the strengths and limitations of socialising accountability as a form of reporting, and particularly the consequences when this form of accountability is decoupled from its hierarchical moorings. KEY TERMS: Accountability, Socialising Accountability, Seventh-day Adventists, Sanitarium Health Food Company 3 1 - Introduction ‘Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,’ thought Alice; ‘but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!’ (Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) Socialising accountability has contributed to broadening accounting and accountability’s research agenda as well as extending accountability’s social reach. Socialising accountability can complement the more widely understood and used notion of hierarchical or formal accountability (Laughlin, 1990; Roberts, 1991) and has enabled researchers to focus their attention on issues beyond the functional and economic.
