Development Of Agency Thought: A Citation Analysis Of The Literature, George O. Gamble, Brian O'Doherty, Ladelle Marie Hyman

Accounting Historians Journal

With the advent of new bibliographic data sources and new analytical techniques, accounting historians may now trace the development of accounting thought with the aid of bibliometric analysis. The objective of this paper is to discuss a social science view of history, discuss essential bibliometric concepts, and provide an example of citation analysis applied to the literature of agency theory : to demonstrate its use in historical research.

Asset Revaluation And Cost Basis: Capital Revaluation In Corporate Financial Reports, Shizuki Saito Jan 1983

Asset Revaluation And Cost Basis: Capital Revaluation In Corporate Financial Reports, Shizuki Saito

Accounting Historians Journal

The paper is a historical study of the asset revaluation movement and the subsequent establishment of the cost basis in the United States. A survey of the corporate report leads to a generalization that the asset revaluations were fundamentally the adjustments of equity capital triggered by corporate financial policies. The concept of quasi-reorganization then was developed to ensure that the capital revaluation was undertaken for the right reasons. This newly developed concept made the revaluation of equity and assets less useful from the standpoint of corporate financial management. Asset revaluation was thus replaced by the cost principle.

Accounting Historians Journal

The study focuses on both the theoretical evolution of LIFO and its acceptance by taxing authorities and accountants.

Development Of University And Professional Accountancy Education In New Zealand, M. J. R. Gaffikin Jan 1981

Development Of University And Professional Accountancy Education In New Zealand, M. J. R. Gaffikin

Accounting Historians Journal

University teaching of accountancy in New Zealand is probably unique in that it has developed hand in hand with the educational requirements of the profession. Although this close relationship did much to stimulate accounting education in the early years this is not so now. In attempting to meet the requirements of the profession and develop independent programmes the universities have been forced into an uneasy compromise. Those United States institutions which have recently created Professional Schools of Accounting may well find themselves similarly placed in the near future.

Accounting History, The Accounting Historian, And The Fasb, William G. Shenkir Jan 1975

Accounting History, The Accounting Historian, And The Fasb, William G. Shenkir

Accounting Historians Journal

The Financial Accounting Standards Board--a "bold new effort" in self regulation by the private sector--became the official rule- making body for financial accounting and reporting on July 1, 1973. The Wheat Report, Establishing Financial Accounting Standards, which led to the formation of the FASB was based, in part, upon an historical study of the rule-making efforts of the Accounting Principles Board. At this early juncture in the FASB's tenure, it seem appropriate for those interested in accounting history to: (1) consider the possibilities for their participation in the on-going work of the FASB; and (2) take note of the sources …

Historical Studies In Recent Years In Japan, Kojiro Nishikawa Jan 1975

Historical Studies In Recent Years In Japan, Kojiro Nishikawa

Accounting Historians Journal

Japan is one of the oldest nations in the world and yet one of the "newest." Western bookkeeping methods came in on the top of the native indigenous method which had been firmly established for centuries. Both of these systems developed quite peculiarly in the modern nation of Japan. Yet Japanese accounting historians have not directed a great deal of their research toward these matters perhaps because they consider them too provincial. Nonetheless it would appear that more Japanese accounting scholars must accept the challenge of doing research into these matters in the years to come.


It Is Up To Us: Arnold J. Toynbee, Vahe Baladouni Jan 1975

It Is Up To Us: Arnold J. Toynbee, Vahe Baladouni

Accounting Historians Journal

Professor Arnold J. Toynbee, one of the most outstanding intellectual figures of our time, died in October at the age of eighty-six. His vast erudition, accompanied with astonishing industry and magnificent style, made him a prolific writer on numerous and disparate subjects--ranging from works on the Armenian genocide of 1915 to his well-known twelve-volume work, A Study of History. Alongside his scholarly achievements, Toynbee worked for his government during both World Wars and was a member of the British delegation to the Paris peace conferences in 1919 and 1945.
