    Open AccessDavid Brock, David M Brock et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Political…2025References: 34

    Within a single month in 2024, media in three provinces wrote about government spending by special warrant. This is unusual public attention to an obscure financial instrument. Governor’s special warrants are a practical solution to the problem of government urgently needing to spend money in the public interest when the legislature cannot readily be convened to grant approval. We describe how special warrants are being used less in exigent circu…

The models tested include Ohlson’s (J Account Res 18(1):31–109, 1980) “business” model, Tuckman and Chang’s “nonprofit” model (Nonprofit Volunt Sect Q 20:445–460, 1991), and a “practitioner” model based on the guidelines of two nonp…

    David Brock, C R Hinings et al.EDITORBOOKRestructuring the Professional…2012
