Business Goodwill: Conceptual Clarification Via Accounting, Legal And Etymological Perspectives, John K. Courtis Jan 1983

Business Goodwill: Conceptual Clarification Via Accounting, Legal And Etymological Perspectives, John K. Courtis

Accounting Historians Journal

Abstract: Confusion as to the real nature of commercial goodwill is well-entrenched in the literature, as evidenced by accountants' attention to valuation formulae rather than the underlying assets. The paper traces conceptual clarification of business goodwill via early writers on accounting, legal opinion and etymology. These three perspectives, together with a chronology of 91 selective definitions, reveal the shift in thinking over the past century. Goodwill, from being thought of as a set of inducements which attract persistent patronage, has become submerged by methods of valuation based upon superior earning power concepts and by the accounting notion of a residuum.


Accountant-Historians Of The Incas, John A. Yeakel Jan 1983

Accountant-Historians Of The Incas, John A. Yeakel

Accounting Historians Journal

The quipu was the ingenious, knotted-string device utilized throughout the Incan empire for recording data within the decimal system. Although quipu experts have often been thought of as managerial or governmental accountants, the writings of the early chroniclers of Peru reveal that quipu specialists were more than accountants. Quipucamayocs were also the historians of the Incas.


Use Of Knotted String Accounting Records In Old Hawaii And Ancient China, Lyle Elmer Jacobsen Jan 1983

Use Of Knotted String Accounting Records In Old Hawaii And Ancient China, Lyle Elmer Jacobsen

Accounting Historians Journal

The use of the "quipu" for accounting purposes has been primarily attributed to the Peruvian Inca culture in the days of old. Documented evidence, however, provides that early Hawaiians and ancient Chinese predated the Incan usage. Studies concentrating on the quipu as an accounting device rather than as an element in the evolution of the writing process might provide valuable contributions to the solution of the mystery surrounding this artifact. Insight into the development of mankind in the Pacific may be gained by understanding the use of the quipu in the East and West, and in Hawaii-- "meeting place" of …


Accounting In The Early Years Of The East India Company, Vahe Baladouni Jan 1983

Accounting In The Early Years Of The East India Company, Vahe Baladouni

Accounting Historians Journal

Although the account-books of the East India Company for the period 1600-1657 are lost, an almost complete series of minutes and other documents make the exploration of accounting in this great mercantile company possible. The present study provides a brief historical note on the rise of the English joint-stock company and then proceeds to examine (1) the general state of accounting affairs; (2) the functional organization of the accounting activity; and (3) the order and method of accounting in the East India Company.


Professional Ethics Of Cpas In Tax Practice: An Historical Perspective, Barry C. Broden, Stephen E. Loeb Jan 1983

Professional Ethics Of Cpas In Tax Practice: An Historical Perspective, Barry C. Broden, Stephen E. Loeb

Accounting Historians Journal

The paper traces the development of the accounting profession's own standards relating to tax practice. When appropriate, the nature and effect of government regulation on the profession's own standards are noted. It was determined that the accounting profession has been slow in developing standards for self-regulation in the area of tax practice. This may be related to two factors: (1) the existence of strong government regulation of tax practice, and (2) the diverse nature of the occupational groups engaged in tax practice.


Antecedents Of The Income Tax In Colonial America, Robert M. Kozub Jan 1983

Antecedents Of The Income Tax In Colonial America, Robert M. Kozub

Accounting Historians Journal

One of the goals of the present federal income tax system is to tax individuals to the extent of their ability to pay. This concept of vertical equity did not originate in the current century. Analysis of the tax laws of the American colonies results in the conclusion that our colonial forefathers attempted to measure the faculty or ability of individuals when enacting tax legislation. This paper analyzes the varied historic forms of the test to measure the capacity to bear the burden of taxation.


Bureau For Placements, Elliott L. Slocum, Alfred Robert Roberts Jan 1983

Bureau For Placements, Elliott L. Slocum, Alfred Robert Roberts

Accounting Historians Journal

The Bureau for Placements sought to encourage qualified college graduates to choose public accounting as a career, to place them with public accounting firms, and to remove the problem of seasonal employment. During its six years of operations, the Bureau published and distributed to college students thousands of copies of the first Institute pamphlet on careers in public accounting, and it placed 250 college graduates with public accounting firms. As a result, the Bureau started, or at least accelerated, the trend by public accounting firms toward the hiring of college graduates.


Vedic Partnership Rules, N. Choudhury Jan 1983

Vedic Partnership Rules, N. Choudhury

Accounting Historians Journal

The law writers of ancient India (around 700 B.C.) devised, in a period of flourishing trade, rules for the administration of partnerships, formed as a means of combining capital and skills of individual entrepreneurs. These rules are indicative of the concern of the writers with partnership economics and equity--concepts which form an important part of present day partnership law.
