St. Louis Exposition Of 1904 And The Accountants' Congress, Sept 26-28: Their History Revised For 2004, David A.R. Forrester Oct 2004

St. Louis Exposition Of 1904 And The Accountants' Congress, Sept 26-28: Their History Revised For 2004, David A.R. Forrester

Accounting Historians Notebook

This two-day congress of accountants was held in September, 1904 during the St. Louis International Exposition. The importance of the congress for the federation of certified accountants across the United States is here confirmed. But the opportunities and intellectual challenges exposed at St. Louis, as at earlier European expositions, featured little for these pragmatic practitioners. More seriously for those claiming that an international accounting congress series began at St. Louis, an examination of its planning, agenda and participation reveals an Anglo-Saxon bias which was natural for that time. This bias was countered only by one Dutch accountant who arrived late …

Feminising Prehistory, David Oldroyd Oct 2004

Feminising Prehistory, David Oldroyd

Accounting Historians Notebook

In a recent paper Oldroyd (2003) explored the idea, first gaining ground in the 19th century, that a time once existed in prehistory when society was universally matriarchal, and counting and calculation were the exclusive preserves of women. Despite the extreme antiquity of the subject, making proof difficult, there is some supporting evidence. The topic is noteworthy for a number of reasons, not least because it suggests an earlier place for women in the history of accounting than is usually acknowledged. In speculating that the first reckoning/accounting devices - a series of notched bone awls dating from the Upper Paleolithic …

Financial Crises And The Publication Of The Financial Statements Of Banks In Spain, 1844-1868, Mercedes Bernal Llorens Jan 2004

Financial Crises And The Publication Of The Financial Statements Of Banks In Spain, 1844-1868, Mercedes Bernal Llorens

Accounting Historians Journal

Financial crises have had a decisive influence on banking regulations in Spain. During the mid-19th century the publication of the financial statements of banks was considered key to the stability of the financial system. All new joint stock banking companies were to publish their statements in the Madrid Gazette in return for the privilege of limited liability. Similar obligations were placed on issuing banks. The copious publication of financial statements coincided with a period of financial prosperity. However, the crises that followed from 1864 to 1868 led to a reduction in the official publication of statements. This paper is concerned …

Corporatism And Unavoidable Imperatives: Recommendations On Accounting Principles And The Icaew Memorandum To The Cohen Committee, Masayoshi Noguchi, John Richard Edwards Jan 2004

Corporatism And Unavoidable Imperatives: Recommendations On Accounting Principles And The Icaew Memorandum To The Cohen Committee, Masayoshi Noguchi, John Richard Edwards

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper re-examines the conclusion reached by Bircher [1991], and other researchers, that the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), through the content of the series of Recommendations on Accounting Principles (RoAPs) that it developed and then incorporated into its memorandum submitted to the Cohen Committee on Company Law Amendment, molded the radical accounting provisions contained in the Companies Act, 1948 (CA48) in the form of its own programme [Bircher, 1991, p.293]. It is argued that (1) the Board of Trade (BoT), through the formation of the Cohen Committee, prompted the qualitative change in the content of …


Observations On Money, Barter And Bookkeeping, William T. Baxter Jan 2004

Observations On Money, Barter And Bookkeeping, William T. Baxter

Accounting Historians Journal

Britain forbade her 18th-century American colonies to set up mints, and sent no supplies of her own coins. In consequence, the colonies were without any official money. Account books of the period reveal how traders fared in this unusual situation. They show that the lack of money was a severe handicap that hindered and distorted trade, but that the colonists to some extent overcame it with the aid of ingenious ledger entries. These culminated in payment by credit transfers in the books of third parties. Such transactions lead to a discussion of the nature of money.


Ancient Mesopotamian Accounting And Human Cognitive Evolution, Tom Mouck Jan 2004

Ancient Mesopotamian Accounting And Human Cognitive Evolution, Tom Mouck

Accounting Historians Journal

Recent archaeological evidence supports the claim that the first system of writing and the first use of abstract numerical representation evolved from the clay token accounting system of ancient Mesopotamia. Writing and other abstract symbol systems have subsequently transformed human cognitive capacities within only few millennia, a time period too short for any substantial changes in our biologically-evolved brains. This paper uses Merlin Donald's theory of human cognitive and cultural evolution [in Origins of the Modern Mind; 1991] to identify the role played by ancient accounting in these evolutionary processes. Specifically, it is argued that this early accounting system paved …


Accounting And The Pursuit Of Utopia: The Possibility Of Perfection In Paraguay, Warwick Funnell Jan 2004

Accounting And The Pursuit Of Utopia: The Possibility Of Perfection In Paraguay, Warwick Funnell

Accounting Historians Journal

For utopian socialists the capitalist state's protection and promotion of property rights is the source of entrenched injustice that alienates individuals from their fundamentally moral nature. Substituting cooperative associations for competition as the basis of economic exchange and social relations would allow justice to be reasserted and society to operate on moral principles. In the late 19th century an attempt was made by a small group of idealistic Australian socialists to put these principles into practice in the jungles of Paraguay by establishing the utopian colonies of New Australia and Cosme. An essential ingredient to their vision was a system …


Single-Entry Accounting In Early America: The Accounts Of The Hasbrouck Family, Sally M. Schultz, Joan Hollister Jan 2004

Single-Entry Accounting In Early America: The Accounts Of The Hasbrouck Family, Sally M. Schultz, Joan Hollister

Accounting Historians Journal

The accounts of the Hasbrouck family help document how five generations adapted to economic and social change in New York's mid-Hudson River valley from the time of settlement in the New World through the Civil War era. The accounts of these farmers and merchants illuminate the role that accounting played during a period when the key information provided by the accounting system was the balance in an individual's account. Personified ledger accounts not only characterized the organizational structure in tight-knit communities, but were essential in facilitating trade during a period when the shortage of cash made asynchronous exchanges and the …


Political Suppression Or Revenue Raising? Taxing Newspapers During The French Revolutionary War, Lynne Oats, Pauline Sadler Jan 2004

Political Suppression Or Revenue Raising? Taxing Newspapers During The French Revolutionary War, Lynne Oats, Pauline Sadler

Accounting Historians Journal

In 1797 the Prime Minister of Great Britain announced a substantial increase in the stamp duty on newspapers. This increase, and indeed the tax itself, has been variously represented as an attack on press freedom and an act of suppression of the working classes. This paper reconsiders these representations by reference to primary sources and concludes that the increases in stamp duty were part of a revenue raising exercise in which taxes on a number of luxury items were increased, including newspapers which were not at the time viewed as being necessities.
