Accounting Historians Journal

This paper presents the progress of auditor independence from a textbook perspective during the 20th century and into the present. It analyzes the multiple editions of Auditing Theory and Practice by Robert Montgomery. The lengthy time span of these editions is divided into several shorter periods based on major changes and developments in auditor independence. Finally, the paper uses several criteria related to auditor independence to review how the Montgomery text covered these changes and developments.

Making Accounting Historians, Jayne Bisman

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper addresses the question of how accounting educators can make accounting historians or, more precisely, how educators can assist in fostering the development of historically aware accounting academics and practitioners.

Outliers In The Professional Project Of Victorian Public Accountancy: David Souter Robertson, Chartered Accountant, T. A. Lee Jan 2009

Outliers In The Professional Project Of Victorian Public Accountancy: David Souter Robertson, Chartered Accountant, T. A. Lee

Accounting Historians Journal

The first and most specific purpose of this paper is to contrast the private and public lives of a founder of modern public accountancy to illustrate the ambiguity of an outlier in the history of a professional project. A second and more general purpose is to use the founder's personal history to identify archival issues in biographical accounting research. A historical outlier such as Scottish Chartered Accountant David Souter Robertson (DSR) demonstrates how research of the professional project of Victorian public accountants is enhanced by the inclusion of private as well as public aspects of their lives. Set in the …


Conceptual Nature Of The Corporate Income Tax, Hugo Nurnberg Jan 2009

Conceptual Nature Of The Corporate Income Tax, Hugo Nurnberg

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper examines a long-standing controversy about the conceptual nature of the corporate income tax: whether it is an expense, a loss, a distribution of income, or some anomalous item. That controversy reflects in part different theories of the accounting entity. Despite several authoritative pronouncements stating or implying that the tax is an expense, and despite an extensive discussion in the academic and professional literature, the controversy has never been fully resolved. Additionally, the tax is not characterized as an expense in corporate financial reports. The FASB's conceptual framework does not resolve this controversy, nor does the impending joint FASB-IASB …

Accounting And Control In The Persepolis Fortification Tablets, Gloria Vollmers

Accounting Historians Journal

The bookkeeping records collected and retained by accountants of the Persian Empire centered at Persepolis from 509-494 B.C. are examined in this paper. A powerful bureaucracy exercised control over foodstuffs to supply an immense number of royal and state personnel and workers with their ration needs. A sophisticated accounting system facilitated this control, making visible not only the quantities of food assets distributed but also the locations and individuals responsible for these distributions.

20th Century Publications On Cost Accounting By Spanish Authors Previous To The Standardization Act (1900-1978), Daniel Carrasco Diaz, Esteban Hernandez Esteve, Maria Jesus Morales Caparros, Daniel Sanchez Toledano Jan 2009

20th Century Publications On Cost Accounting By Spanish Authors Previous To The Standardization Act (1900-1978), Daniel Carrasco Diaz, Esteban Hernandez Esteve, Maria Jesus Morales Caparros, Daniel Sanchez Toledano

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper aims to describe and explain the beginning and evolution of cost accounting in Spain through the examination of accounting texts. In this evolution, three periods are distinguished: the late 19th century, the first half of the 20th century, and 1951-1978. In 1978, the official standardization of Spanish cost accounting occurred. Cost accounting first appeared in Spanish texts at the start of the 20th century. However, in 19th century accounting treatises can be found references to some aspects of cost accounting to which the paper refers. The traditional orientation of authors in the second period clearly reflects a monistic …

Corporate Governance In The 19th Century: Evidence From The Chesapeake And Ohio Canal Company, Robert W. Russ, Gary John Previts, Edward N. Coffman Jan 2009

Corporate Governance In The 19th Century: Evidence From The Chesapeake And Ohio Canal Company, Robert W. Russ, Gary John Previts, Edward N. Coffman

Accounting Historians Journal

Presenting evidence from a 19th century corporation, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company (C&O), the paper shows that issues of corporate governance have existed since the first corporations were established in the U.S. The C&O used a stockholder review committee to review the annual report of the president and directors. The paper shows how the C&O stockholders used this committee to supplement the corporate governance structure. The corporate governance structure of the C&O is also viewed from a theoretical structure as espoused by Hart [1995].
