Analysis Of Publishing Patterns In Accounting History Research In Italy, 1990-2004, Lino Cinquini, Alessandro Marelli, Andrea Tenucci
Accounting Historians Journal
In the last decade, an increasing number of analyses of accounting history literature have been undertaken to classify historical research paths and to map the variety of approaches and issues of the discipline in different geographical settings so as to make international comparisons. The paper develops these topics in the Italian context by studying the development of accounting history research (AHR) in the last 15 years. Contributions by Italian authors have been published in international and national specialist journals as well as in more general accounting journals. Other papers have been presented and published in the proceedings of the biannual …

Letter From A Teenage Accounting Clerk In 1846: A Hidden Voice In A Micro-History Of Modern Public Accountancy, T. A. Lee
Accounting Historians Journal
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate use of archival material to access a hidden voice in accounting history and provide social context in the form of a biographical micro-history of public accountancy. The archival material is a letter written in 1846 by a Scottish teenage public accountancy clerk. An analysis of the letter gives insight to the employment and social life of the clerk in mid-19th century Scotland and also identifies a notorious character in Scottish public accountancy. The paper reveals the importance of social connections, religion, communication, and transport to middle-class Victorian Scots and, more generally, reminds …

Study Of The Impact Of Special Interest Groups On Major Tax Reform: Agriculture And The 1913 Income Tax Law, Douglas K. Barney, Tonya K. Flesher
Study Of The Impact Of Special Interest Groups On Major Tax Reform: Agriculture And The 1913 Income Tax Law, Douglas K. Barney, Tonya K. Flesher
Accounting Historians Journal
Farmers have benefited from unique tax treatment since the beginning of the income tax law. This paper explores agricultural influences on the passage of the income tax in 1913, using both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results show that agricultural interests were influential in the development and passage of tax/tariff laws. The percentage of congressmen with agricultural ties explains the strong affection for agriculture. Discussion in congressional debates and in agricultural journals was passionate and patriotic in support of equity for farmers. The quantitative analysis reveals that the percentage farm population was a significant predictor of passage of the 16th …
Professional Leadership And Oligarchy: The Case Of The Icaew, Masayoshi Noguchi, John Richard Edwards
Professional Leadership And Oligarchy: The Case Of The Icaew, Masayoshi Noguchi, John Richard Edwards
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper examines the difficulty of achieving representative and effective governance of a professional body. The collective studied for this purpose is the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (formed 1880) which, throughout its existence, has possessed the largest membership among British accounting associations. Drawing on the political theory of organization, we will explain why, despite a series of measures taken to make the constitution of its Council more representative between formation date and 1970, the failure of the 1970 scheme for integrating the entire U.K. accountancy profession remained attributable to the detachment of office bearers from their …
Ledger Of Ann Dewitt Bevier (1762-1834), Early American Estate Manager And Mother, Sally M. Schultz, Joan Hollister
Ledger Of Ann Dewitt Bevier (1762-1834), Early American Estate Manager And Mother, Sally M. Schultz, Joan Hollister
Accounting Historians Journal
The ledger that Ann DeWitt Bevier kept from 1802 until 1813 represents a rich primary source that provides perspective on how a rural agriculturalist and household head interacted with the social and cultural environment in the young American nation. Her accounting records expand the gendered history of economic life by illustrating the life and work of a woman who managed a farm, famÂÂily household, brick kiln, rental property, and investments in financial instruments. The costs of educating her children were also detailed in the ledger, helping to inform us about the educational opportunities for females in early America.
Early Books On Investing At The Dawn Of Modern Business In America, Joel E. Thompson
Early Books On Investing At The Dawn Of Modern Business In America, Joel E. Thompson
Accounting Historians Journal
The purpose of this study is to enhance understanding of early investment practices and the role financial and other information played in those practices. The primary method employed is to examine early books on investing published in the U.S. Early authors described stock market operations including manipulations of security prices by the bulls and the bears. Their solution to this manipulation was to educate investors and provide company information, mostly through directories and manuals. This study shows that financial and other information was thought by the authors to be critically important at the time that the securities markets were first …

Analysis Of The Bursars' Accounts At Durham Cathedral Priory, 1278-1398, Alisdair Dobie
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper is based upon an examination of a selection of the bursars' accounts from Durham Cathedral Priory covering the period from the first extant account (1278-9) to the end of the 14th century. The accounts selected have been transcribed from the original documents and translated from Latin into English. A traditional focus of accounting historians in the medieval period has been on manorial accounting and the system of charge and discharge. This paper examines a series of non-manorial accounts and a variety of supporting accounting materials, analyzing them for evidence of the development and refinement of controls. After an …
Contributions Of Joseph Hardcastle To Accounting Theory, George C. Romeo, James J. Mckinney
Contributions Of Joseph Hardcastle To Accounting Theory, George C. Romeo, James J. Mckinney
Accounting Historians Journal
Joseph Hardcastle was one of the foremost authorities on subjects connected with the mathematics of finance and other topics in accounting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a teacher, author, and leader in the profession, he figured prominently in the elevation of accountancy. Hardcastle is relatively unknown in the literature except for having the distinction of scoring the highest grades on the first CPA exam in New York in 1896. However, he was well respected during his time as one of the premier theorists in accounting and was awarded an honorary degree of Master of Letters by …
State And Local Government Accounting In 19th Century America: A Review Of The Literature, Stephanie D. Moussalli
State And Local Government Accounting In 19th Century America: A Review Of The Literature, Stephanie D. Moussalli
Accounting Historians Journal
Although 19th century America offers a natural experiment in government accounting practices and voluminous original records still exist, a review of the literature on the period's state and local government accounting finds few secondary articles and almost no contemporary literature before 1875. After that, reformers, decrying the municipal accounting practices of their time, wrote profusely so that some secondary studies of that literature exist. The governmental financial records of the 1800s varied in quality from excellent to scandalous and would, if properly sampled and described, not only fill the gaps in our knowledge of 19th century government accounting and fiscal …

Market For Luca Pacioli's Summa Arithmetica, Alan Sangster, Gregory N. Stoner, Patricia Mccarthy
Market For Luca Pacioli's Summa Arithmetica, Alan Sangster, Gregory N. Stoner, Patricia Mccarthy
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper looks at an aspect of Luca Pacioli and his Summa Arithmetica that has not previously been explored in detail the market for which he wrote the book. In order to do so, it follows a path identified by two clues in the bookkeeping treatise as to the nature of this market that modern eyes, unaware of how life was in late 15th century Italy, have missed. After discussing the curriculum taught in schools at that time, this paper considers a range of possible markets for which the book may have been written. The paper concludes that it was …
Accounting For The Stamp Act Crisis, Lynne Oats, Pauline Sadler
Accounting For The Stamp Act Crisis, Lynne Oats, Pauline Sadler
Accounting Historians Journal
In 1765, the British Parliament imposed stamp duties on the American colonies, setting in motion the chain of events which ultimately led to the American Revolution. This paper analyzes the practicalities of the Stamp Act to provide insights into the way in which a tax instrument that was successful in one setting failed to achieve similar success in another. The reasons for choosing stamp duties as an appropriate fiscal measure, the colonial reaction to the tax, and the way in which the tax was accounted for by the British government bureaucracy are examined. The paper demonstrates the value of using …
