Accounting And Financial Reporting By A Late 18th Century American Charity, Roger B. Daniels, Mike Braswell, Jesse D. Beeler Jan 2010

Accounting And Financial Reporting By A Late 18th Century American Charity, Roger B. Daniels, Mike Braswell, Jesse D. Beeler

Accounting Historians Journal

Empirical research to date has neglected accounting and external financial reporting among 18th century American charitable institutions. Contemporary understanding of 18th century American practices is supported by evidence relating to commercial transactions primarily among colonial merchants. Our study examines the accounting and financial reporting of the Charleston Orphan House, the first municipal orphanage in America, from its inception in 1790 through its first five years of operations. The institution was established by city ordinance in 1790 which required the institution to keep a book of fair and regular accounts of all receipts and expenditures which will be subject at all …


Development Of Modern Auditing Standards: The Strange Case Of Raymond Marien And The Fraud At Interstate Hosiery Mills, 1934-1937, Jan Richard Heier, Maria A. Leach-Lopez Jan 2010

Development Of Modern Auditing Standards: The Strange Case Of Raymond Marien And The Fraud At Interstate Hosiery Mills, 1934-1937, Jan Richard Heier, Maria A. Leach-Lopez

Accounting Historians Journal

In February 1938, the police arrested Raymond Marien, a small, bookish man, for forging checks at Interstate Hosiery Mills, Inc. During the ensuing investigation, the New York Attorney General's office found that Marien had juggled the books of the corporation and that these accounting irregularities inflated Interstate Hosiery Mills' assets by $1.9 million or about 40% of the company's assets. In an irony of history, the company's external auditors, as it turned out, employed Marien. The extensive investigation conducted by the SEC into Marien's manipulations found that, save for forged checks amounting to about $2,000, Marien and others were exonerated …


Changing Legitimacy Narratives About Professional Ethics And Independence In The 1930'S Journal Of Accountancy, Diane Roberts Jan 2010

Changing Legitimacy Narratives About Professional Ethics And Independence In The 1930'S Journal Of Accountancy, Diane Roberts

Accounting Historians Journal

The 1930s in the U.S. were marked by an economic crisis, governmental regulatory response, and a significant audit failure. This paper examines the profession's struggle for legitimacy during these times through its choice of narratives regarding professional ethics and independence as revealed in the national professional organization's monthly, the Journal of Accountancy. Initially ethics is a state-of-mind or narrative of character was used but transitioned to a more objectively determinable narrative of technique as the decade progressed. To counter governmental regulation, the profession attempted to shift the independence discourse away from regulation of accountants to regulation of client companies.


Patterns Of Accounting History Literature: Movements At The Beginning Of The 21st Century, Juan Banos-Sanchez Matamoros, Fernando Gutierrez-Hidalgo Jan 2010

Patterns Of Accounting History Literature: Movements At The Beginning Of The 21st Century, Juan Banos-Sanchez Matamoros, Fernando Gutierrez-Hidalgo

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper addresses and updates the challenge made by Carmona [2004] regarding the need to broaden the accounting history literature into periods, settings, and sectors outside those traditionally published in specialist journals. For this purpose, we review three international journals the Accounting Historians Journal; Accounting, Business & Financial History; and Accounting History and two national publications Rivista di Contabilita e Cultura Aziendali (Italy) and De Computis (Spain) over the period 2000-2008. The results show changes in the publishing patterns of accounting history research. We also explore whether non-Anglo-Saxon researchers have widened the settings, periods, and sectors studied from those of …


Market For Luca Pacioli's Summa De Arithmetica: Some Comments, Basil S. Yamey Jan 2010

Market For Luca Pacioli's Summa De Arithmetica: Some Comments, Basil S. Yamey

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper explains why Pacioli's exposition of double-entry bookkeeping, published in his Summa of 1494, was neither an effective reference text for merchants nor a satisfactory text for their sons. In doing so, the paper contradicts some of the points made in the interesting and wide-ranging article by Sangster, Stoner, and McCarthy in the June 2008 issue of this journal.

Taxation And Gendered Citizenship, Nancy Staudt Jan 2010

Taxation And Gendered Citizenship, Nancy Staudt

Faculty Working Papers

This essay notes that the feminist tax policy theorists have made numerous important contributions to our understanding of tax policy's affect on women's lives and experiences. It argues that in doing so, the extant literature has also prioritized the idea of citizenship rights but has failed to acknowledge the importance of citizenship obligations and duties.


Constitutional Politics And Balanced Budgets, Nancy Staudt Jan 2010

Constitutional Politics And Balanced Budgets, Nancy Staudt

Faculty Working Papers

Unbalanced budgets have sparked decades of debate among legislators, scholars, and the public at large. Although the controversy has abated somewhat in recent years, many continue to believe that Congress has a tendency to pursue a level of public debt that is both inefficient and unfair. Foremost among those who criticize the federal budgeting process are fiscal constitutionalists, a group of public choice scholars who believe the constitutional constraints are the only means by which the public will obtain protection from legislative fiscal irresponsibility. This article explores the public choice argument for a balanced budget amendment and argues that it …


Taxation Without Representation, Nancy Staudt Jan 2010

Taxation Without Representation, Nancy Staudt

Faculty Working Papers

Poll taxes are unconstitutional and yet Americans continue to link political rights to economic status. When taxpayers claim, "We pay taxes and therefore should decide how public monies are spent," they claim a privileged position in society based on their monetary contributions to the state and federal fiscal position that, by implication, nontaxpaying Americans should not have. Not only do taxpayers claim they deserve special political privileges, but the law itself continues to couple political rights to taxpaying status in ways that legal scholars have largely left unexplored. This article examines a range of political benefits tied to the payment …

Financial Reporting In 1920: The Case Of Industrial Companies;, Jeffrey J. Archambault, Marie E. Archambault Jan 2010

Financial Reporting In 1920: The Case Of Industrial Companies;, Jeffrey J. Archambault, Marie E. Archambault

Accounting Historians Journal

This study uses the 1920 Moody's Analysis of Industrial Investments to assess the extent of financial reporting by U.S. industrial companies. The reporting of an income statement and a balance sheet, as well as the amount of disclosure in both of these statements, is examined empirically to determine which economic factors influence this reporting. The results show that corporate-governance, operating, and financing factors all significantly influence the reporting of financial statements and the extent of disclosure within those statements. However, the significant factors vary across the two financial statements and the two decisions considered (reporting a particular statement and the …

On His Majesty's Secret Service: Accounting For The Secret Service In A Time Of National Peril 1782-1806;, Warwick Funnell

Accounting Historians Journal

Reforms to the civil list in the late 18th century in England sought to deny the Crown opportunities to use its civil-list funds and sinecures to buy influence in Parliament and, thereby, diminish constitutional protections for liberty. Among the most important reforms were tighter accounting requirements for civil-list spending, including that for the secret services. The unique nature and purpose of the home and foreign secret services, which were the responsibility of the Crown and paid from civil-service funds, resulted in accounting controls which depended upon additional measures to provide Parliament with greater control over spending and enhanced accountability. These …
