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 …


Economic Class, Social Status, And Early Scottish Chartered Accountants, Tom Lee Jan 2004

Economic Class, Social Status, And Early Scottish Chartered Accountants, Tom Lee

Accounting Historians Journal

A recent study by Jacobs [2003] examines economic class bias in the contemporary recruitment practices of public accountancy firms. The study bases its argument on a historical review that suggests such bias has its origins in early Scottish chartered accountancy. This paper challenges the Jacobs thesis by examining the notion of economic class in relation to the social status of professions, and provides archival evidence of the effects of the recruitment practices of Scottish chartered accountants from mid 19th century until the beginning of the First World War. This evidence demonstrates a dual effect. The first is a considerable change …


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 …


Kautilya On The Scope And Methodology Of Accounting, Organizational Design And The Role Of Ethics In Ancient India, Balbir S. Sihag Jan 2004

Kautilya On The Scope And Methodology Of Accounting, Organizational Design And The Role Of Ethics In Ancient India, Balbir S. Sihag

Accounting Historians Journal

Kautilya, a 4th century B.C.E. economist, recognized the importance of accounting methods in economic enterprises. He realized that a proper measurement of economic performance was absolutely essential for efficient allocation of resources, which was considered an important source of economic development. He viewed philosophy and political science as separate disciplines but considered accounting an integral part of economics. He specified a very broad scope for accounting and considered explanation and prediction as its proper objectives. Kautilya developed bookkeeping rules to record and classify economic data, emphasized the critical role of independent periodic audits and proposed the establishment of two important …


Accounting Systems And Recording Procedures In The Early Islamic State, Omar Abdullah Zaid Jan 2004

Accounting Systems And Recording Procedures In The Early Islamic State, Omar Abdullah Zaid

Accounting Historians Journal

Despite advances in historical knowledge the precise origins of accounting systems and recording procedures remain uncertain. Recently discovered writings suggest that accounting has played a very important role in various sections of Muslim society since 624 A.D. This paper argues that the accounting systems and recording procedures practiced in Muslim society commenced before the invention of the Arabic numerals in response to religious requirements, especially zakat, a mandatory religious levy imposed on Muslims in the year 2 H.


Writing Accounting And Management History. Insights From Unorthodox Music Historiography, Luca Zan Jan 2004

Writing Accounting And Management History. Insights From Unorthodox Music Historiography, Luca Zan

Accounting Historians Journal

Few disciplines are probably more different than music and accounting. Nonetheless possible suggestions about historiography in accounting and management can be drawn from an innovative textbook on the history of music [Favaro and Pestalozza, 1999]. This is a rather unusual music history textbook. It has several distinguishing features which raise issues about: histories of the present, history and theory making, a non-linear sense of history, a social history of music, a pluralist view of genres, and a multi-geographical emphasis. These features have interesting parallels with accounting history and historiography.
