Accounting Historians Notebook

The current research analyses the roles of personality, business environment and accounting information in order to explain variations in the change to iron shipbuilding, focusing on two particular firms, Laing and Doxford, these firms being selected for research on the basis of the availability of archive material (Note 1).

Social Security: From Then To Now, 70 Years Of Growth, Patricia Miller Selvy

Accounting Historians Notebook

Today, just as in 1935, there appears to be a fundamental belief in American society that those who have worked and made contributions into a retirement system should have some assurance that they will not be left unprotected by our government once they have reached an age where they cannot work. The problem we are facing as a society is one of determining how to offer retirees income protection while not taxing our shrinking working population too heavily. There are many proposals being debated on how to fix the system, but before decisions are made on how to restructure our …

Accounting History In Today's Business Schools, David D. Van Fleet, Daniel A. Wren Apr 2006

Accounting History In Today's Business Schools, David D. Van Fleet, Daniel A. Wren

Accounting Historians Notebook

Slocum and Sriram's [2001] study of teaching accounting history found a decline from 1985-1997 in the number of courses with historical content at the doctoral and undergraduate level. Is this development a singular event for accounting or an example of what is happening in other business disciplines? Our study presents the results of a longitudinal and cross-disciplinary survey of members of AACSB International to determine the current state of the teaching of history in business schools. We find a similar decline in other business disciplines and offer suggestions about the relevance of history and steps that might be taken to …

Accounting Historians Notebook

The creation of an attractive textbook of accounting history in Japan yields a rich harvest of information in one package.

Early American Corporate Reporting And European Capital Markets: The Case Of The Illinois Central Railroad, 1851-1861, Dale L. Flesher, Gary John Previts, William D. Samson Jan 2006

Early American Corporate Reporting And European Capital Markets: The Case Of The Illinois Central Railroad, 1851-1861, Dale L. Flesher, Gary John Previts, William D. Samson

Accounting Historians Journal

This study of the annual reports of the Illinois Central Railroad (IC) from the 1850s supports a conclusion that the statements, as to form and content, were developed to serve the needs of two classes of investors and to inform the general community of the activities of the company. The need to report to the public as to the success of the company's role in its social contract to develop the state required details of a demographic nature, which were provided by the land commissioner. Operating results provided evidence of the ability to service the debts held by European investors …


Using A White-Collar Profession In Accounting Courses: Approaches To Addressing Diversity, William D. Samson, Cheryl L. Allen, Richard K. Fleischman, Ida B. Robinson-Backmon Jan 2006

Using A White-Collar Profession In Accounting Courses: Approaches To Addressing Diversity, William D. Samson, Cheryl L. Allen, Richard K. Fleischman, Ida B. Robinson-Backmon

Accounting Historians Journal

Accounting educators no doubt agree that diversity is an important and much neglected part of accounting education. They further recognize that it is difficult to incorporate this important topic into the accounting curriculum. This paper describes the efforts of various professors to expose business and accounting students to the evolution of diversity issues related to the accounting profession by using the book A White-Collar Profession [Hammond, 2002]. A White-Collar Profession: African-American CPAs Since 1921 is a seminal work which presents a history of the profession as it relates to African-American CPAs and documents the individual struggles of many of the …


Accounting Techniques In Korea: 18th Century Archival Samples From A Non-Profit Association In The Sinitic World, Seong Ho Jun, James B. Lewis Jan 2006

Accounting Techniques In Korea: 18th Century Archival Samples From A Non-Profit Association In The Sinitic World, Seong Ho Jun, James B. Lewis

Accounting Historians Journal

Little is known about pre-1900 East Asian accounting techniques. A double-entry method of accounting may date from the 11th century in Korea, but extant commercial ledgers are no older than 1854. However, extensive accounts of cooperative associations survive from the early 18th century. The Mun Clan Association accounts are examined to reveal their organizing principles and accuracy. The accounts demonstrate a highly accurate system that was intermediate between single-entry and double-entry accounting. While they are not from a commercial house, the accounts display sophisticated book­keeping techniques designed to maximize rationality within a Confucian moral economy.

America's Railroad Depreciation Debate, 1907 To 1913: A Study Of Divergence In Early 20th Century Accounting Standards, Jan Richard Heier Jan 2006

America's Railroad Depreciation Debate, 1907 To 1913: A Study Of Divergence In Early 20th Century Accounting Standards, Jan Richard Heier

Accounting Historians Journal

In June 1907, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) released new reporting rules that would require railroads to change from betterment to depreciation accounting for equipment. The new rules set off a firestorm of protest because the railroads felt they were already recognizing physical depreciation through the current system. The ICC, however, was looking at the concept of economic depreciation to match the cost of equipment with revenue over the life of the asset in much the same way that industry was beginning to account for its fixed assets. Such economic depreciation, it was felt, would give the rate-setting ICC more …


Stockholder Review Committee Of The Chesapeake And Ohio Canal Company, 1828-1857: Evidence Of Changes In Financial Reporting And Corporate Governance, Robert W. Russ, Gary John Previts, Edward N. Coffman Jan 2006

Stockholder Review Committee Of The Chesapeake And Ohio Canal Company, 1828-1857: Evidence Of Changes In Financial Reporting And Corporate Governance, Robert W. Russ, Gary John Previts, Edward N. Coffman

Accounting Historians Journal

Canal companies were among the first enterprises to be organized in the corporate form and to require large amounts of capital. This paper examines the stockholder review committee of a 19th century corporation, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company (C&O), and discusses how the C&O used this corporate governance structure to monitor and improve financial management and operations. A major strength was the concern and dedication of the stockholders to the company, while a major weakness was the political control exerted by the State of Maryland. The paper provides an historical perspective on corporate governance in the 19th century. This …
