Abstract
This essay outlines the central themes for an ethnographic study of the professional accountancy examination process. The nature of professional expertise and a justification of the ethnographic perspective are developed to locate the central narrative. A preliminary critique of the professional examination process is advanced on two levels: a relatively modest functional critique and a more ambitious critique of ideology based on the work of Habermas. The complexity of subjectivity remains a theoretical challenge to any comprehensive ethnography in this area.
