Accounting Syllabus, Elliott L. Slocum Oct 1985

Accounting Syllabus, Elliott L. Slocum

Accounting Historians Notebook

This paper traces the efforts of the AIA Committee on Education (committee) from 1919 to 1924 to establish the program of study to prepare students for the CPA examination. The committee's efforts resulted in a program of study which was in outline form and referred to as the accounting syllabus. Although its contribution is debatable, the accounting syllabus was a first step. It reported subject matter which CPA candidates needed to know, and, perhaps, it indirectly influenced future efforts. The accounting syllabus, at the very least, represents a constructive effort and is a part of the foundation of contemporary accounting …

Willard J. Graham: A Renegade Accountant, Grover L. Porter Mar 1985

Willard J. Graham: A Renegade Accountant, Grover L. Porter

Accounting Historians Notebook

While it may be somewhat unconventional to use the term "Renegade" in a positive sense, that is the way the authors are using the term to refer to the late Willard J. Graham who died in 1966. We are using the term to mean "one who rejects tradition" when to do so is in the best interests of the cause. In this case, the cause is to assure that "The information presented in accounting reports should be useful for making decisions".


Modern Mesopotamian Accounting, Douglas Garbutt Mar 1985

Modern Mesopotamian Accounting, Douglas Garbutt

Accounting Historians Notebook

All accounting historians know that the Ancient Mesopotamian were the first bookkeepers, but little attention has been paid to more recent history. In 1915-1917, the colorful character of Harry St. John Bridger Philby played a significant part in the importation of British approaches to accounting in the southern part of Mesopotamia, which at that time began to adopt the Arab name for the Country, Allraq.

Request For Nominees For Contributors To Accounting Thought, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch Mar 1985

Request For Nominees For Contributors To Accounting Thought, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch

Accounting Historians Notebook

I would like to share with you an idea expressed to me by Professor Paul A.M. Van Philips of the University of Amsterdam. Professor Van Philips said that an outstanding weakness of accounting is that we do not have a book equivalent to Joseph Schurnpeter's History of Economic Analysis. We have no one place to send students and practitioners of accounting for the rich heritage of accounting writers.


Finances Of All Saints Church In Rome, Robert William Gibson Mar 1985

Finances Of All Saints Church In Rome, Robert William Gibson

Accounting Historians Notebook

The history of All Saints tells us that minute books and registers have survived from the first church. The register of services kept weekly and even daily since 1881 in the vestry of the two successive churches provides much information. The registers of baptisms, marriages and burials date from December 1825. The story of how these records survived two world wars is a romantic story of the courage and initiative of a trio of English matrons who had long resided in Rome with their Italian husbands.

Some Aspects Of The Rule Of St. Benedict, Christopher J. Cowton Mar 1985

Some Aspects Of The Rule Of St. Benedict, Christopher J. Cowton

Accounting Historians Notebook

The purpose of this article is to outline and discuss some themes of particular interest in a classic of western Christian organization, the Rule of St. Benedict. While the focus of the Rule is on the worship of the Community - the "opus Dei" - there are a number of interesting observations regarding internal control of material possessions and the management of trading relationships.

Advertising By Accountants, James W. Jones Mar 1985

Advertising By Accountants, James W. Jones

Accounting Historians Notebook

While Mr. Coker had a valid premise for writing his article on CPA Advertising in 1914 (Historians' Notebook, Fall, 1984), the use of advertising by certified and non-certified public accountants extends far back. The subject and use of advertising is part of the history of the profession and its antecedents. The present author has done some research into the history of accounting and accountants in Baltimore. In the course of those studies several instances of advertising by accountants were noted and commented on in papers (1)(2)(3) presented before regional meetings of the American Accounting Association. There were no legal requirements …

Accounting History Hobbies; Scripophily, Academy Of Accounting Historians

Accounting Historians Notebook

I began my collection about fifteen years ago when I saw an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal offering ten antique cancelled stock certificates for only two dollars. Since I was a university accounting professor (and still am), I was aware of how much difficulty my students were having with the accounting problems of common stock. Not only had my students never seen a stock certificate, they could not tell the difference between common stock and livestock (like on a farm). Therefore, I decided to invest two dollars and obtain ten certificates to use as examples in my accounting classes. …
