Abstract

This study offers homo pancasilaus as antithesis to homo economicus. Homo economicus has become the ontology of Positive Accounting Theory (PAT) that dominates capitalistic accounting. By employing Pancasila as research paradigm, it is revealed that homo pancasilaus has a number of indicators which characterises human personality: divinity, humanity, unity, society, and justice. These characteristics can be used as the basis to transform accounting that is based on Pancasila, and to offer alternative Positive Accounting Theory. © Universiti Putra Malaysia Press.
