This combines the adoption of Hayes’ (1996) four types of accountability by charities with a hegemonic application of the Mitchell, Agle, and Wood (1997) model of stakeholder salience. In applying these tools to a particular transgression event, it is demonstrated that the lower salience of beneficiaries of a charitable activity in crisis is due to their lack of coercive power through a lack of knowledge. This study illustrates the dynamic, myriad and heterogeneous nature of stakeholders in the not-for-profit sector.pdfen-NZFinancial accountabilityNon-profit organisationsNon profit organisationsSocial accountabilityHegemony, Stakeholder Salience and the Construction of Accountability in the Charity SectorText
