Were Islamic Records Precursors To Accounting Books Based On The Italian Method? A Comment, Christopher Nobes Jan 2001

Were Islamic Records Precursors To Accounting Books Based On The Italian Method? A Comment, Christopher Nobes

Accounting Historians Journal

Some readers might have interpreted Zaid [2000] as claiming that the accounting practices of the Islamic State already used or directly led to double entry. This comment puts Zaid's paper into the context of prior literature and points out that no evidence is offered in that literature or by Zaid to dispute an Italian origin for double entry. Nevertheless, there are clear influences from the Muslim world on some antecedents to Western accounting developments and on some features of pre-double-entry accounting in the West.

Work Of The Special Committee On Research Program, Stephen A. Zeff Jan 2001

Work Of The Special Committee On Research Program, Stephen A. Zeff

Accounting Historians Journal

This article begins by recounting the circumstances that led to the AICPA's decision in 1957 to appoint a special committee to recommend a stronger research program to support the process of establishing accounting principles. It then proceeds to examine in depth the committee's sometimes difficult deliberations that eventually led to a unanimous report, in which it recommended the creation of an Accounting Principles Board and an enlarged accounting research division within the Institute. In the course of the article, the author brings out the strong philosophical differences among several of the Big Eight accounting firms that had been impeding the …

Imperial Connection? Contrasting Accounting Practices In The Coal Mines Of North-East England And Nova Scotia, 1825-1900, Richard K. Fleischman, David Oldroyd Jan 2001

Imperial Connection? Contrasting Accounting Practices In The Coal Mines Of North-East England And Nova Scotia, 1825-1900, Richard K. Fleischman, David Oldroyd

Accounting Historians Journal

The archives of the General Mining Association (GMA), a London-based enterprise with substantial holdings in the Nova Scotian coal-mining industry during the 19th century, are investigated in this paper. The historical record was examined with particular reference to the degree to which industrial costing techniques were transplanted via engineers/managers within the British Empire. The findings support the hypothesis that linkages to Newcastle were evident in Canadian coal mining, but that the accounting emphases differed somewhat between the two locales. In Nova Scotia, there was a great attention to day-to-day expense control. A similar concern was apparent also in the North-East …

Canadian Audit Market In The First Half Of The Twentieth Century, Alan John Richardson Jan 2001

Canadian Audit Market In The First Half Of The Twentieth Century, Alan John Richardson

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper explores the structure of the Canadian audit market between 1901 and 1941 based on a sample of 3661 financial statements from 956 firms. Two aspects of the market are examined: first, the overall degree of market concentration, and second, the existence of market segmentation. In addition, a specific concern of the paper is to analyse competition between domestic accounting firms and the international accounting firms leading to the merger of major independent Canadian firms with international accounting firm networks after World War Two. The data show a pattern of increasing concentration during the period among a small set …

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 …

This Statement provides guidance on the independent auditors consideration of an entity's internal control in an audit of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. It defines internal control, describes the objectives and components of internal control, and explains how an auditor should consider internal control in planning and performing an audit. In particular, this Statement provides guidance about implementing the second standard of field work: "A sufficient understanding of internal control is to be obtained to plan the audit and to determine the nature, timing, and extent of tests to be performed."

Linear Empirical Bayes Estimation Of Survival Probabilities With Partial Data, Mostafa Mashayekhi Jan 2001

Linear Empirical Bayes Estimation Of Survival Probabilities With Partial Data, Mostafa Mashayekhi

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

In this paper we consider linear empirical Bayes estimation of survival probabilities with partial data from right-censored and possibly left-truncated observations. Such data are produced by studies in which the exact times of death are not recorded and the length of time that each subject may be under observation cannot exceed one unit of time. We obtain asymptotically optimal linear empirical Bayes estimators, with respect to the squared error loss function, under the assumption that the probability of death under observation in a unit time interval is proportional to the length of observation. This assumption is sometimes implied by Balducci's …

Controlling The Solvency Interaction Among A Group Of Insurance Companies, Alexandros Zimbidis, Steven Haberman Jan 2001

Controlling The Solvency Interaction Among A Group Of Insurance Companies, Alexandros Zimbidis, Steven Haberman

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

Pooling of risks is an efficient risk management technique used by large employee benefit schemes of multinational companies to self-insure their retirement and other benefit obligations. This technique forms a basis for formulating a general control theoretic model for the interaction between insurance companies within a pooling network. The objective of these insurance companies is to avoid insolvency yet maintain stable premium and surplus processes. A general control system of equations that is used as a model for the interaction of m insurance companies within the network is first analyzed. An analytic solution is provided. Questions concerning the stability and …
