Few Suggestions For Potential Future Hourglass Awardees; Journal Has New Book Review Editor, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch

Accounting Historians Notebook

On behalf of Peter McMickle and myself, I am very happy and honored to thank the Academy for its awarding us the 1988 Hourglass Award. As our experience could be helpful to you in perhaps trying a similar project, I'd like to relate the milestones of the book, The Origins of a Great Profession. It is an example of what might be called "Celebration Accounting." Since there are many celebrations coming in the next few years: Columbian 500 in 1992; NAA 75 in 1994; Summa 500 in 1994; and CPA 100 in 1996, for instance, perhaps the relating of our …

Raymond De Roover (1904-1972) Business Historian, Oliver Finley Graves, Ernest Stevelinck Oct 1988

Raymond De Roover (1904-1972) Business Historian, Oliver Finley Graves, Ernest Stevelinck

Accounting Historians Notebook

The distinguished historian of medieval and Renaissance business history, Raymond Adrien Marie de Roover, first won recognition for scholarly excellence as an MBA student at Harvard University in 1938. The award was the James Bowdoin Graduate Prize, and his prize-winning essay was on the Florentine wool industry. Based on an examination of Medici family account books housed in the Harvard Library, the study epitomized the research methodology de Roover was to employ throughout his career: careful study and masterful interpretation of archival accounting records. The Bowdoin Prize, further, proved only the first of a battery of prizes and honors he …


Herbert C. Hoover: Accounting Influences On His Life, Glenn Vent, Ronald A. Milne Oct 1988

Herbert C. Hoover: Accounting Influences On His Life, Glenn Vent, Ronald A. Milne

Accounting Historians Notebook

Herbert C. Hoover was arguably the most distinguished mining engineer in American history. During the early part of this century he enjoyed great success as a consultant and mine manager. He was regarded as one of the most skilled practitioners of his day. In addition, he was a regular contributer to the mining journals and wrote several books, two of which became classics (Principles of Mining and De Re Metallica, an annotated translation of the works of Agricola). The rationalization of management was an important theme in his life. He frequently turned to accounting as a means to improve management …


David Young's The Farmer's Account-Book, 1790, John Freear Oct 1988

David Young's The Farmer's Account-Book, 1790, John Freear

Accounting Historians Notebook

The full title of David Young's book, "The Farmer's Account-Book of Expenditure and Produce for Each Day, Month, and Year" [Young, 1790] is unlikely to capture the attention of the casual reader. Historical Accounting Literature, [1975] describes the work as "a book published for the purpose of having accounts entered in it." This description, although accurate does not do full justice to Young's attempts to develop an effective farm management and accounting system.

Sydney World Congress Highly Successful; Scenes From Sydney, Academy Of Accounting Historians Oct 1988

Sydney World Congress Highly Successful; Scenes From Sydney, Academy Of Accounting Historians

Accounting Historians Notebook

Over 130 accounting academics from 14 countries gathered in Sydney, Australia this past August to convene the Fifth World Congress of Accounting Historians. The United States, Australia, Japan and Italy sent the largest delegations. Other countries with representatives included Great Britain, New Zealand, Finland, Spain, Canada, Norway, Hungary, Sweden, Poland and China. Most delegates found the Congress quite inspirational, perhaps because of the presence of such luminaries as Sydney's own Ray Chambers and Murray Wells and individuals of similar stature from other nations. Professor Chambers attended every session and his encouragement of younger scholars was appreciated by all in attendance. …

Another Representation Of Pacioli, Alfred Robert Roberts Mar 1988

Another Representation Of Pacioli, Alfred Robert Roberts

Accounting Historians Notebook

Robert Haulotte, then vice-president of the Belgian Society of Expert Accountants, wrote a short article in 1984 about his discovery of another representation of Pacioli. The painting, entitled "Leonard Peignant La Joconde," was recently "rediscovered" by me. It was painted by Aimee Brune-Pages in 1845, and an engraving of the work may be seen in the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris. A reproduction of the painting is in Roy McMullen's book entitled Mona Lisa: The Picture and The Myth.

Accounting Historians Notebook

Groitsch is a small industrial town in Saxony situated in the District of Leipzig near the Elster. For the most part one would have encountered cobblers, box makers, and locksmiths there in the last century. It was in Groitsch, with its five thousand inhabitants, that the German accounting historian Balduin Penndorf was born on 27 November 1873.


Confucius And Accounting, Guo Daoyang Mar 1988

Confucius And Accounting, Guo Daoyang

Accounting Historians Notebook

Confucius had to leave his family to seek a livelihood at a young age. As luck would have it, this great sage did accounting and became a forefather of the Chinese accounting profession almost as soon as he started his working career. At that time Jishi, a great aristocrat, was in charge of the state of Lu. Under Jishi, Confucius was a front-line official responsible for stores accounting : a relatively low ranking position. He directed a small staff and he, himself, had to keep the accounts. The money and food that he earned were very little and only enough …
