Accounting Principles And Procedures Of Philanthropic Institutions, Louis Englander, New York Community Trust
Individual and Corporate Publications
The study was undertaken to determine whether a uniform system of financial recording and reporting could be designed for all philanthropic institutions. Religious, social and governmental institutions were not considered as falling within its scope. Hospitals and educational institutions were also excluded because of prior studies and reports thereon. The available published literature on the subject is quite sparse. Aside from the texts mentioned in preceding paragraphs, there were comparatively few articles appearing in technical journals, all of which were carefully examined. Executives of many philanthropic organizations were interviewed. Through their courtesy, financial reports of various types of philanthropic institutions …

Accounting Suggestions For Mississippi Businessmen, William V. George
Accounting Suggestions For Mississippi Businessmen, William V. George
Individual and Corporate Publications
Mississippi businessmen, in fact all businessmen, should be vitally interested in the operating results of their enterprises. They are hopeful of increasing net income. The tool which produces the results they are so interested in is accounting, often referred to as the language of business, the medium through which operating results are made known. This brief study in no way undertakes to teach the multitude of complex problems that arise in accounting for business today. Rather, it offers a brief explanation of, or reference to, some of the problems which will arise in even small businesses. Many of the topics …

Outline For A Management Audit, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Policyholders Service Bureau
Individual and Corporate Publications
Most progressive companies make it a point to audit their accounts at least once a year in order to establish the adequacy and accuracy of such accounts and to reveal fiscal weaknesses that may need correction. The periodic inventorying and appraising of physical assets is also an accepted practice. There is need for the same sort of stock-taking as applied to the management of a business. This can be accomplished through the medium of a management audit. Through this device, a business executive undertakes, in effect, to back off and survey his company critically and objectively. A comprehensive management check …

Plan For A Standard Form Of Municipal Reports To Be Published Annually By Towns In In The Commonwealth, Harvey S. Chase
Individual and Corporate Publications
What the citizens of the towns and cities must have, if they are to vote intelligently concerning their community's affairs, are intelligible and prompt reports covering the transactions of the year, to be sent to voters before the annual town meeting. These must be arranged in such standardized form that each subdivision of the accounts will be comparable with similar subdivisions in other towns' reports. The same words must mean the same things and not quite different things, as is frequently the case now. Such impartial, standard and prompt reports can be provided only under mandatory laws of the States. …

Tax Accounting Of The City Of Detroit, Burroughs Adding Machine Company

This work includes calculating and billing the taxes, distributing the daily receipts and posting and proving the delinquent records as well as all control accounts. The system outlined in this booklet was designed especially to meet the requirements of a particular city. No attempt is made …

Depreciation: Treatment In Production Costs, Chamber Of Commerce Of The United States Of America. Department Of Manufacture
Individual and Corporate Publications
Depreciation attempts to measure the effect of time and production on physical properties and equipment and to record the results in dollars and cents. This computation can not be exact because the elements affecting depreciation are many and their relative importance difficult to determine. The use and character of property, its maintenance, the quality of installation, and often local conditions variously modify the life of property, while an unexpected industrial advance may suddenly terminate the usefulness of property and completely upset depreciation calculations.

In addition, this Outline has …

Financial Control And Accounting For A Chamber Of Commerce, Chamber Of Commerce Of The United States Of America
Individual and Corporate Publications
For some time we have been keenly aware that accounting, record keeping, and methods of financial administration of a considerable number of chambers of commerce could be improved. This pamphlet is designed for this purpose. Part I presents the steps to be taken, the forms to be used, and the methods to be employed in handling the financial matters of a chamber of commerce in a business-like and orderly way. Particularly do we want to stress in this connection the importance of a carefully devised budget practice, which is fully discussed in this section of the pamphlet. Part II describes …

Individual and Corporate Publications
I have often been asked by accountants who not only take a deep interest in their profession as it is practiced to-day, but love to hear something of its distant past, to write an account of the early days of the profession in this country, its beginning over forty years ago, the quality and character of the men connected with it, the nature and extent of the work they did, and of course any odd or interesting personal experiences I met with during that early period. This request has been made of me I presume because I am supposed to …

Cost Standards In Shoe Manufacturing: A Necessary Guide To Profit-Making Management, F. Richmond Fletcher
Individual and Corporate Publications
To take up now the first of the points that I wish to discuss today: I think the average manufacturer has laid too much stress on the use of costs as a basis for determining selling prices, when, as a matter of fact, costs should be used primarily to determine the base below which there is no profit.

Perpetual Inventory And Stores Control [Revised], Chamber Of Commerce Of The United States Of America. Department Of Manufacture
Individual and Corporate Publications
This pamphlet was first published early in 1922, when industry generally had not passed the period of industrial stagnation and inventories of raw and processed materials in the store rooms of manufacturers were excessive. Under such conditions, it was felt that a pamphlet on the control of inventories was particularly timely. The subject is no less timely now. Although conditions have changed, the changed conditions have brought with them a greater need than ever for the close control of every feature of the operation of manufacturing plants. Moreover, the principles of the perpetual inventory have been found universally applicable and …

Cost Of Overhead, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Policyholders' Service Bureau.

THE problem of overhead is of a two-fold character. It is partly a question of policy, and partly of accounting method. There is no rigid line of separation between the two aspects of the overhead problem, but as far as possible this leaflet is limited to a consideration of overhead as a question of policy.
Outline Of Municipal Accounts, Leonard Beasley
Outline Of Municipal Accounts, Leonard Beasley
Individual and Corporate Publications
The purpose of this outline is to set forth a method by which the financial transactions of a municipality may be recorded in a simple yet adequate manner. It does not attempt to do more than show how the transactions may be handled and booked, so that their source, disposition and amount may be readily traced and understood, and to do this in a manner which will accord with the laws governing municipal finances. To do this it is necessary to assume that certain well approved methods of fiscal policy have been employed, although it is not possible to refer …
