How and why would the accounting profession use the results of behavioural research in accounting

Behavioral accounting is a subset of accounting that, in addition to accounting expertise, is concerned with behavior. It is concerned with people's attitudes and behaviors when confronted with an accounting phenomenon, which defines the actions that they will exhibit in decisionmaking. This accounting specialization addresses issues such as human informationprocessing activity, judgement accuracy, accounting problems caused by accounting information users and suppliers, and accounting information users' and producers' decisionmaking skills.

Behavioral psychology seeks to understand how people make choices, communicate with others, and affect economies and societies. The impact of accounting knowledge on conduct, administrative management (budget engagement, nonfinancial interventions, leadership, and balanced scorecard), auditing (auditorclient negotiations, auditor's judgement, and decisionmaking), and ethics (ethical decisionmaking, ethical orientation, and rationalizations for unethical behavior) are all included under the Behavioral accounting definition.
