| Abstract: | The paper examines the relationship btw. the work an organization actually performs backstage and the image it presents to external parties. The issue is examined through a qualitative field study of the United States General Accounting Office's (or GAO's) audit reporting process. It is found among others that the GAO's internal work and the presented image to parties the GAO audits are complexly interconnected. |
