| Abstract: | Material from an extensive qualitative case study of a "Big Six" firm is used to argue that being a professional in the firm is understood as being more to do with ways of conducting oneself with possession of technical knowledge or being certified to practice. Using documentary and interview materials, the complexities and tensions of these ways of conducting oneself are explored, as is their relationship to issues of fairness, physical appearance, gender and hierarchy |
