This paper discusses a number of topics pertaining to personal accounts in account books in the period roughly between 1200 and 1800. The main emphasis is on two topics, namely the use of account books as evidence in courts of law, and bad and doubtful debts and their accounting treatment. Examples from various countries and periods are provided to illustrate the discussion, which is not intended to be exhaustive.

Evolution Of The Relationship Between The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards And The International Accounting Standard Setters: 1973-2008, Robert J. Kirsch
Accounting Historians Journal
Utilizing archival materials as well as personal interviews and correspondence with personnel of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Committee /Board (IASC/B), including former Board chairmen and staff members, this paper examines the development of the working relationships between the FASB and the IASC/B from their earliest interactions in 1973 through the transformation of the IASC into the IASB and the Convergence Program rooted in the 2002 Norwalk Agreement up to 2008.

Locating The Source Of Pacioli's Bookkeeping Treatise, Alan Sangster
Locating The Source Of Pacioli's Bookkeeping Treatise, Alan Sangster
Accounting Historians Journal
There is much we do not know about the early development of double entry bookkeeping. What, for example, caused it to be used by sufficient merchants for it to be formally taught to their sons in Northern Italy before anyone had apparently written anything about it? And, what did Pacioli use as the source for his 1494 treatise, the earliest known detailed written description of the method, something that has challenged researchers for at least the past 130 years? Discovering Pacioli's sources could broaden our knowledge of the Renaissance roots of accounting and of its early role and place in …

Farmers, Politics, And Accounting: The History Of Standard Values -- An Accounting Convenience Or Political Arithmetic?, Jill J. Hooks, Ross E. Stewart
Farmers, Politics, And Accounting: The History Of Standard Values -- An Accounting Convenience Or Political Arithmetic?, Jill J. Hooks, Ross E. Stewart
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper examines accounting in the social, political, and economic context within which it operates. Specifically, the farming sector in New Zealand provides the context for studying the history of standard-value accounting. This accounting practice emerged with the support of accountants, farmers, and the state as the tax regime in New Zealand slowly moved to an income tax for farmers from 1915. The paper examines how accounting became a practice of political arithmetic, mediating the economic power of the farmers with the rest of the tax base of New Zealand. Standard-value accounting for livestock became a device that represented the …

Two-Currency, Nostro And Vostro Accounts: Historical Notes, 1400-1800, Basil S. Yamey
Two-Currency, Nostro And Vostro Accounts: Historical Notes, 1400-1800, Basil S. Yamey
Accounting Historians Journal
Suppose a merchant in country A has dealings with an agent in country B. The indebtedness between the merchant (principal) and his foreign correspondent (agent) has to be settled in terms of B's currency. Fluctuations in the exchange rate give rise to gains or losses, borne by the merchant. This paper discusses one accounting treatment (in the principal's ledger) of the dealings between domestic principal and foreign agent. It also considers the treatment where the merchant serves as agent for a foreign principal. The discussion is illustrated by references to two 15th century Italian ledgers and to passages in several …
Veblen's Placebo: Another Historical Perspective On Administrative Evil, Jesse F. Dillard, Linda V. Ruchala
Veblen's Placebo: Another Historical Perspective On Administrative Evil, Jesse F. Dillard, Linda V. Ruchala
Accounting Historians Journal
Thorstein Veblen was a turn of the 20th century American economist concerned with the implications of financial capitalists directing the means of production. Veblen proposed that the rationality of material science as practiced by the production engineers is fundamentally different from the rationality of market capitalism. If this claim is valid, our previous contentions regarding accounting, as a facilitating technology, for administrative evil warrant reconsideration. Veblen's position provides a historical perspective on one dimension of administrative evil that is generally unquestionably accepted, especially within accounting. That is, technology, such as accounting and the related information systems, is amoral, and it …

Role Of Financial Accounting In Investing In 1870s America, Joel E. Thompson
Role Of Financial Accounting In Investing In 1870s America, Joel E. Thompson
Accounting Historians Journal
The objectives of this study are to understand better the development of investment practices and the information that was available for those practices during the turbulent decade of the 1870s. This was a time of panic, depression, and manipulations by insiders. Nevertheless, outsiders chose to speculate and invest in corporate securities in Wall Street. Consequently, authors began to provide more specific investment advice, some of which required the use of earnings and other financial-accounting information. This study describes the availability of that information in the books and periodicals in an age dominated by railroad kings.

Tracing The Development Of Accounting Thought By Analyzing Content, Communication, And Quality Of Accounting Research Over Time, Frank A. Badua, Gary John Previts, Miklos A. Vasarhelyi
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper analyzes the longitudinal development of accounting thought by characterizing the content of accounting research over several decades (1963 to 2003). The paper also investigates the interaction among accounting scholars and examines the relationship of research quality, topical coverage, methodological tools, and citation behavior. Thus, this analysis describes how accounting research has evolved, both in its content and in the way it has been used and perceived by its adherent scholars.
Accounting On English Landed Estates During The Agricultural Revolution -- A Textbook Perspective, John Richard Edwards
Accounting On English Landed Estates During The Agricultural Revolution -- A Textbook Perspective, John Richard Edwards
Accounting Historians Journal
The agricultural revolution has been portrayed as the time when landowners began to display a capitalist mentality. This paper seeks to add to our knowledge of the use of accounting for managerial purposes during this period by exploring the content of treatises advocating different ways of accounting on landed estates. Two research questions are addressed. The first is the degree of inter-relationship between accounting methods charge-and-discharge accounting (CDA) and double-entry bookkeeping that have been presented in the literature as distinct in terms of their objectives and operation. The second objective is to assess the extent to which CDA could be …

Earnings Management Among Firms During The Pre-Sec Area: A Benford's Law Analysis, Jeffrey J. Archambault, Marie E. Archambault
Earnings Management Among Firms During The Pre-Sec Area: A Benford's Law Analysis, Jeffrey J. Archambault, Marie E. Archambault
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper examines the existence of financial statement manipulation in the U.S. during a time period when many of the current motivations did not exist. The study looks for types of manipulations that would be motivated by the pre-SEC operating environment. To examine this issue, a sample of U.S. firms from the 1915 Moody's Analyses of Investments is divided into industrial firms, railroads, and utilities. The railroad and utility companies faced rate regulation during this time period, providing incentives to manipulate the financial reports so as to maximize the rate received. Industrial firms were not regulated. These companies wanted to …
Too Young To Have A History? Using Data Analysis Techniques To Reveal Trends And Shifts In The Brief History Of Accounting Information Systems, Frank A. Badua, Ann L. Watkins
Too Young To Have A History? Using Data Analysis Techniques To Reveal Trends And Shifts In The Brief History Of Accounting Information Systems, Frank A. Badua, Ann L. Watkins
Accounting Historians Journal
Using several data-analysis techniques, this paper seeks to construct a brief history of Accounting Information Systems (AIS). In an effort to achieve some degree of comprehensiveness, this paper examines both AIS research and pedagogy. It begins by documenting and classifying topical foci of research papers in the Journal of Information Systems. It then compares the pedagogical emphases of AIS courses as identified in past research. By deploying multiple methods of analysis to identify patterns of hegemony or change in the topics of AIS scholarship and teaching, this paper highlights the use of two data-analysis techniques found to be useful in …

First External Auditors Of The Hudson's Bay Company, 1866, Gary P. Spraakman
First External Auditors Of The Hudson's Bay Company, 1866, Gary P. Spraakman
Accounting Historians Journal
At the request of shareholders, the Hudson's Bay Company had its financial statements audited for the first time in 1866. Two external auditors were hired, one for the shareholders and one for management. Three inter-related forces led to this decision: (1) most importantly, the company's shareholders demanded audited financial statements, (2) there was emerging in London at the time the capacity and willingness among London accountants to provide external audit services, and (3) the British Parliament passed various acts that required financial statements of companies in other industries to be audited. After a few years, only the management's external auditor …
