Pluralist Theory
Public interest theory of accounting is concerned with achieving publicly desired results which, if left to the market, would not be obtained. The main galvanizer of Public Interest theory is to respond to the demands from the general public in regards to correcting market inefficiencies (i.e. accounting inconsistencies between firms). However, it is difficult to meet demands from all people because competition between demanders is not formally acknowledged by the regulator. what is private interest theory then?
Accounting is political in nature as final information from accounting reports has impact on the general public, whether it be a public or private company.

Special interest theory suggests that policymakers are influenced by a relatively small group of individuals or organizations that have a strong interest in a specific policy outcome. These groups, known as special interest groups, often have the resources and expertise to shape policy decisions in their favor. Critics argue that this can lead to policies that prioritize the interests of these groups over the broader public interest.
