Accounting
By Walter Johnson
The purpose of an “administrative agency” is identical to the purposes of bureaucracy. An “administrative agency” is a slightly fancier, euphemistic word for bureaucracy. Technically, administration or bureaucracy refers to any centralized organization, public or private, and how they express or extend their reach. Yet, its general connotation is that bureaucratic organizations are governmental and hence “public.” Law
Whether public law or corporate policy, the purpose of administration is to administer and execute that law. It is meant to “extend” the force of that law or policy to all those areas of life that the law is meant to reach. The accounting department of a firm is an administrative agency designed to keep accurate books detailing the firm's income and expenses over time. The accounting department -- or administration -- must remain in its bounds as set by law or policy to retain its legitimacy and focus on its purpose.
