Abstract

In the context of auditing research structure and dynamics, the proposition of Qualitative quantity mode of Inquiry in the Classic Debate – Qualitative versus Quantitative research - is introduced. On the base of the Topological mode and notion of Qualitative quantity and homeomorphism of change and transformation, the transition within the system of auditing research themes is proposed, the transition from typology to topology.
The topological approach to auditing research dynamics in the context of the cultural phenomenology of auditing research is introduced as a basis into improved knowledge of the way audit research and auditing is organised.

Arguably, chaos and entropy are adaptive to activism and utopian theory; they trouble normative approaches to temporal progress, applying a non-linear and emergent approach to thinking about activism and possibility. [...] This initial exploratory definition of the nano-utopian describes moments that are fractions of [...] micro- utopian structures, or that may initially sit at a disconnect from them, differing mainly in the fact that they are unpredictable, unplanned or unexpected.
