Off-Shore Borrowing And Guarantees By Banks: Implication For Portfolio Management., C. C. Edordu Dec 2001

Off-Shore Borrowing And Guarantees By Banks: Implication For Portfolio Management., C. C. Edordu

Bullion

The subject I have been asked to reflect on is important and somewhat provocative given the potential significance of foreign capital in the development process and the implied doubt the topic raises about the capacity of banks to manage their portfolios on accessing external finance. With regard to financing tenors, it is pertinent to point out that the tenor of liabilities of most banks in Nigeria and Africa is short. The paper has focused on the various discussions about the conditions for good governance, which raises questions about the structure and functioning of the state, its relationship to society and …

Past: Prologue For The Future, Robert H. Colson

Accounting Historians Notebook

As often occurs when someone retires from a position, my predecessor, Jim Craig, left behind as many things as possible to ease the transition of his successor. Among the items that have waited patiently for my attention is a desk drawer filled with cassette tapes of past interviews and symposia. Journal Editor Tom Morris and I went through these tapes and initially decided to discard them because their journalistic purpose had been fulfilled. They had been used to clarify points in interviews and symposia before their publication in the Journal. Because the published version becomes the formal, public record of …

Accounting Historians Notebook

Integrating accounting history into the classroom is one way to motivate students in financial accounting courses, to help them gain an appreciation of the evolution of accounting, and to challenge them to conceptualize and think constructively [Bloom and Collins, 1988; Coffman et al., 1993]. This paper presents examples of some familiar and some unfamiliar business and accounting concepts as they were taught in the early-nineteenth century to help accounting students and faculty members to gain further insight into how today's practices evolved.

Which Accounting Methods For Small Construction Contractors Are Allowed For Tax Purposes? Which Is Best? A Decision Heuristic Helps Choose, Jeffrey N. Barnes, Katherine Black Jan 2001

Which Accounting Methods For Small Construction Contractors Are Allowed For Tax Purposes? Which Is Best? A Decision Heuristic Helps Choose, Jeffrey N. Barnes, Katherine Black

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

Many tax preparers still have difficulty determining and properly communicating the allowable tax accounting methods and bookkeeping procedures needed for small construction contractors, especially those having partially completed contracts at year-end. For many small construction contractors, the Internal Revenue Code is confusing and even court opinions give mixed signals as to which accounting method is permissible. This paper provides a discussion on the allowable methods of tax accounting and provides a decision heuristic to simplify the choice of allowable methods. The paper also offers suggestions about bookkeeping procedures.

From The Editor, Stephen P. Walker

Accounting Historians Journal

In recognition of the mutual advantage to be gained by engaging with the broader community of historians, a new section of The Accounting Historians Journal, Interfaces,' has been established. The object is to reconnoitre literature in history for emerging themes with implications for research directions, theoretical perspectives and methodologies in accounting history. Cheryl McWatters, Reviews Editor, has commissioned a number of exploratory essays, the first of which, by Linda Kirkham and Ann Loft, appears in this number. It is envisaged that the Interfaces' section will also contain reviews of periodical literature in history which is pertinent to accounting historians.

Internal Audit At The Historical Hudson's Bay Company: A Challenge To Accepted History, Gary P. Spraakman Jan 2001

Internal Audit At The Historical Hudson's Bay Company: A Challenge To Accepted History, Gary P. Spraakman

Accounting Historians Journal

The accepted history of managerial internal audit is that its origins are in financial and compliance auditing. Managerial was added after firms started to expand geographically or into other businesses. That expansion increased complexity and created problems for managers which the internal auditor assisted in solving with managerial audits. Contrary to that two stage development, something comparable to managerial internal audit was being practiced by the Hudson's Bay Company in the form of inspections as early as 1871. Rather than in financial and compliance auditing, these inspections had their geneses in the desire of the senior manager and the committee …

Archival Investigation Of A Late 19th Century Accounting Information System: The Use Of Decision Aids In The American Printing Industry, Roger B. Daniels, Jesse Beeler Jan 2001

Archival Investigation Of A Late 19th Century Accounting Information System: The Use Of Decision Aids In The American Printing Industry, Roger B. Daniels, Jesse Beeler

Accounting Historians Journal

This study investigates management's use of decision aids within the context of an accounting information system of a late 19th century American printing firm. Our findings suggest that the use of decision aids by management transformed traditional ac­counting techniques and the cost accounting system into an intri­cate accounting information system by 1880. These decision aids allowed managers to manipulate accounting information to support decisions involving pricing, cost allocation and estimation, profitability assessment, management of receivables, and inventory control. The findings shed new light on the early work of Alexander Hamilton Church on the issue of idle time accounting and raises …

Small-Time Accounting: A 19th Century Meat Merchant In Maine, Gloria Vollmers, Darlene Bay

Accounting Historians Journal

The journal of Amos K. Hersey, a 19th century meat merchant from Pembroke, Maine is examined in this paper. The accounting system used by Hersey is analyzed and compared with contemporary prescriptions for account keeping. The paper seeks to contribute to the emerging literature on the history of accounting among ordinary people. It shows how the accounts kept by Hersey reflect and illuminate several features of a local economy and society.
