Kuhnian Interpretation Of The Historical Evolution Of Accounting, Barry E. Cushing Jan 1989

Kuhnian Interpretation Of The Historical Evolution Of Accounting, Barry E. Cushing

Accounting Historians Journal

Distinct parallels exist between the historical evolution of scientific disciplines, as explained in Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and the historical evolution of the accounting discipline. These parallels become apparent when accounting's dominant paradigm is interpreted to be the double-entry bookkeeping model. Following this interpretation, the extensive articulation of the double-entry model over the past four centuries may be seen to closely resemble the normal science of Kuhn's theory. Further parallels become apparent when Kuhn's concept of the disciplinary crises that precede scientific revolutions is compared to developments in the accounting discipline over the past 25 years. This …


Early Accounting: The Tally And Checkerboard, William T. Baxter Jan 1989

Early Accounting: The Tally And Checkerboard, William T. Baxter

Accounting Historians Journal

How could our ancestors do accounting while they were still illiterate and had no paper? The answer is that they used the tally and the checkerboard. In medieval Europe, the tally was normally a short stick on which notches were cut to represent numbers; different number units could be shown by notches of different sizes. The two parties to a deal could get a fraud-proof record by splitting the tally into matching "foil" and "stock" (hence our "stock market"). Counting was done by moving counters onto and off a surface ruled like a chess-board. These devices were central to medieval …


Medieval Traders As International Change Agents: A Comparison With Twentieth Century International Accounting Firms, Larry M. Parker Jan 1989

Medieval Traders As International Change Agents: A Comparison With Twentieth Century International Accounting Firms, Larry M. Parker

Accounting Historians Journal

The International Accounting Standards Committee's (IASC) exposure draft on "Comparability of Financial Statements" has increased the awareness of the need for international changes in accounting standards. Since the IASC cannot mandate these changes, the accounting community needs to learn how to communicate, adopt and implement changes. This paper discusses an important aspect of the change process, the change agent. The first part of the paper presents an historical example of an important group of international change agents, the Jewish traders of the Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Parallels are then drawn between the Medieval Jewish traders and modern international accounting …


Historical Analysis Of Depreciation Accounting -- The United States Steel Experience, Sarah Auman Reed Jan 1989

Historical Analysis Of Depreciation Accounting -- The United States Steel Experience, Sarah Auman Reed

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper examines the magnitude of the reporting bias inherent in the historical cost accounting of a firm's physical capital. Reported depreciation data pertaining to U.S. Steel Corporation (currently USX) between 1939 and 1987 are compared with standardized historical cost figures and replacement cost estimates. The findings suggest that replacement cost depreciation would have provided more information about U.S. Steel's ability to maintain its productive capacity than historical cost depreciation did. Thus, this analysis provides an illustration of one of the primary arguments for replacement cost accounting.

Accountant And The Investor, George Oliver May Jan 1989

Accountant And The Investor, George Oliver May

Accounting Historians Journal

Professor Custis suggested that I talk on the ethical obligations of the accountant to the investor. The suggestion offered an opportunity to discuss before a sympathetic audience some of those phases of accounting practice which make it, to me, the most attractive of the professions which are closely allied with business; and an opportunity, also, to discuss some questions possessing a broader interest.

Irony Of The Golden Age Of Accounting Methodolgy, Tom Mouck Jan 1989

Irony Of The Golden Age Of Accounting Methodolgy, Tom Mouck

Accounting Historians Journal

Developments in accounting methodology during the 1960s are contrasted with concurrent developments in philosophy of science. The 1960s was a decade characterized by the widespread adoption of the scientific method in accounting methodology. The same decade was characterized by the degeneration of any semblance of consensus among philosophers of science regarding the nature of scientific inquiry. The irony of these incongruous but simultaneous developments is highlighted with the intent of weakening the current atmosphere of uncritical reverence for science and the scientific method in accounting research. A more contemporary (and more open) view of science : the postempiri-cist view : …

Legislative History Of The Allowance Of Lifo For Tax Purposes, Morton Pincus Jan 1989

Legislative History Of The Allowance Of Lifo For Tax Purposes, Morton Pincus

Accounting Historians Journal

The legislative history of the allowance of LIFO for tax purposes is documented. The legislative process was structured around veto points of the law and yielded an examination of the political environment out of which the LIFO tax provisions emerged. LIFO provisions were analyzed relative to alternative tax options available to firms, administrative and judicial activities, overall tax legislation including tax rates, and general economic conditions. Production processes of firms lobbying for LIFO were examined and the views of academics and practitioners were incorporated. In addition to providing the basis for a regulatory event study by identifying the critical dates …
