Analysis Of The Life And Writings Of Harvey Stuart Chase (1861-1946): Book About Harvey Stuart Chase Published Privately; Book About Harvey Stuart Chase Published Privately, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch

Accounting Historians Notebook

Harvey Stuart Chase was not only a leader of the public accounting profession from 1895 through 1925, he could be considered the father of municipal accounting, of depreciation, of the national budget, and of two State Societies of CPAs (Massachusetts and Colorado). He, at that time, was mentioned in the same breath with Haskins, Sells, Montgomery, and May. They are still remembered now by accounting historians and accountants but Harvey Stuart Chase is forgotten. This book places him back into the recognition he deserves.

Case For Teaching Accounting History With Accounting Theory In The Undergraduate Curriculum; Innovation In Teaching Award Submission, David R. Vruwink, Dan Deines Apr 2002

Case For Teaching Accounting History With Accounting Theory In The Undergraduate Curriculum; Innovation In Teaching Award Submission, David R. Vruwink, Dan Deines

Accounting Historians Notebook

Accounting Theory & History is the second course for accounting majors at Kansas State University. This course, along with the first course, Accounting Processes and Controls, serve as the foundation for the remaining accounting curriculum. The introductory accounting classes have a user perspective and de-emphasize the mechanics of the accounting process. Accounting Processes & Controls is designed to teach students how the accounting system works both manually and electronically. Accounting Theory & History describes how accounting has evolved and examines the various accounting methods/theories that could be used or are used in accounting. By taking this approach, students understand that …


Legitimating History In The Accounting Curriculum, Stephen P. Walker Apr 2002

Legitimating History In The Accounting Curriculum, Stephen P. Walker

Accounting Historians Notebook

Over the past eight years I have taught a senior honours course in accounting history at Edinburgh University. The (predominantly) positive feedback received from students enrolled for this option indicates two things. First, that accounting history is considered to be a worthwhile and interesting course. Second, the subject is perceived as refreshingly different. One student commented recently that the course 'brought another discipline and its skills to accounting'. This reference to skills is the essential message of this paper. Trends in higher education in Britain inspire consideration of an alternative basis for legitimating the inclusion of accounting history in the …

Accounting And Redistribution: The Palace And Mortuary Cult In The Middle Kingdom, Ancient Egypt, Mahmoud Ezzamel Jan 2002

Accounting And Redistribution: The Palace And Mortuary Cult In The Middle Kingdom, Ancient Egypt, Mahmoud Ezzamel

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper examines detailed historical material drawn from primary sources to explore the role of accounting practices in the functioning of several key stages of the redistributive economy of the Middle Kingdom, ancient Egypt. First, the paper attends to the role of accounting in securing a regular flow of commodities to the state, in the form of taxation in kind. The historical material suggests clearly that accounting practices played a crucial role in levying and collecting precise tax liabilities, and in monitoring the storing of commodities in state granaries and storehouses. The second level of analysis is concerned with the …


Personal Account Books Of Sir Walter Scott, Sam Mckinstry, Marie Fletcher Jan 2002

Personal Account Books Of Sir Walter Scott, Sam Mckinstry, Marie Fletcher

Accounting Historians Journal

This study examines the personal account books of Sir Walter Scott, the world-renowned Scottish author, a topic not explored before by Scott scholars or accounting historians. It sets the account books in the context of Scott's accounting education and experience, which took place at the time of the Scottish Enlightenment, an 18th century movement which saw a great flowering of writings on accountancy in Scotland as well as considerable progress in the arts and sciences. The style, layout and content of the account books is also studied from the point of view of elucidating Scott's domestic financial arrangements and expenditure …


Legitimizing Power Of Financial Statements In The Salvation Army In England, 1865-1892, Helen Irvine Jan 2002

Legitimizing Power Of Financial Statements In The Salvation Army In England, 1865-1892, Helen Irvine

Accounting Historians Journal

Since its inception the Salvation Army has relied heavily on external funds to survive. There is evidence to suggest that at the time of its founding, in 19th century England, and in its early years, financial statements played a powerful legitimizing role. This was crucial to an organization like The Salvation Army, newly formed and in desperate need of funds. This view is consistent with institutional theory, which emphasizes the importance of such legitimacy. However, it challenges the notion, prevalent in academic literature on accounting in religious organizations, that there is a resistance to the use of accounting as a …

The paper reasserts the importance of biographical research in accounting history by reference to Stephen Zeff's book on Henry Rand Hatfield. It illustrates that depth studies of individual actors offers compelling insights to the history of accounting theory, practices and institutions.
