Wally Smieliauskas, Russell Craig, Joel Amernic

• This response to Alexander (2010) clarifies the approach taken in Smieliauskas et al. (2008). Here we elaborate further on the significance of the accounting risk concept for fairness of presentation in financial reporting. In the process we show how Alexander's potentially important concept of accounting policy risk can be made operational via the concept of accounting risk.
