British Cost Accounting Development: Continuity And Change, John Richard Edwards, Malcolm Anderson
British Cost Accounting Development: Continuity And Change, John Richard Edwards, Malcolm Anderson
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper uses the archival records of three entities successively carrying on coal and ironmaking activities at Staveley between 1838-1900, together with the findings from earlier research, to explore the costing information generated over the period 1690-1900. We find a system of cost accounting, broadly defined, in operation throughout the period, a large measure of continuity concerning its basic features, and innovations made from time to time presumably designed to improve its usefulness. The paper uses the results of this and earlier research to explore the nature of accounting change and draws attention to possible differences in the path of …
Cely Shipping Accounts: Accountability And The Transition From Oral To Written Records, Keith Hooper
Cely Shipping Accounts: Accountability And The Transition From Oral To Written Records, Keith Hooper
Accounting Historians Journal
The records of a voyage from London to Bordeaux during 1486-87 are reviewed. The voyage was the first of a regular pattern of trading voyages conducted on behalf of the Cely family who traded English wheat and wool for Bordeaux wine. This family were fifteenth century London merchants whose accounts and other papers are held by the London Public Record Office. Secondary sources are used to show that by the late fifteenth century many English merchants were attracted to overseas trade, which despite considerable risks, offered the prospect of a good return. The paper illustrates some features of medieval accounting, …
Irving Fisher And The Mechanistic Character Of Twentieth Century Accounting Thought, Tom Mouck
Irving Fisher And The Mechanistic Character Of Twentieth Century Accounting Thought, Tom Mouck
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper provides an overview of the influence of Newtonian mechanics on the development of neoclassical economic theory and highlights Fisher's role in the popularization of the resulting mechanical conception of economics. The paper also portrays Fisher's The Nature of Capital and Income : a work which has been aptly characterized as the "first economic theory of accounting" : as the first move toward the colonization of accounting by economics. The result of Fisher's influence has been a paradigmatic linkage between the Newtonian world view of science, neoclassical economics, and mainstream academic accounting thought. The picture that emerges from this …
Retrospective: Paul Franklin Grady, Wesley T. Andrews
Retrospective: Paul Franklin Grady, Wesley T. Andrews
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper, written by his son-in-law of 37 years, is a collection of anecdotal "folklore" about a man who had a very significant impact on the development of the accounting profession during the "Golden Age of Accounting". Paul Grady's greatness arose from his enormous dedication, strength and character, coupled with his complete honesty and relentless ruthlessness in seeking to have his views prevail. The only purpose in the paper is to provide a glimpse of the nature of this truly remarkable person. If the paper fails in this, then perhaps the reader will at least find the stories mildly amusing.

Use Of Accounting Information In Governmental Regulation And Public Administration: The Impact Of John R. Commons And Early Institutional Economists, Mark A. Covaleski, Mark William Dirsmith, Sajay Samuel
Use Of Accounting Information In Governmental Regulation And Public Administration: The Impact Of John R. Commons And Early Institutional Economists, Mark A. Covaleski, Mark William Dirsmith, Sajay Samuel
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper examines the socio-political process by which an ensemble of such calculative practices and techniques as accounting came to be developed, adopted, and justified within turn-of-the-cen-tury public administration. We are particularly concerned with examining the influence of John R. Commons and other early institutional economists during this Progressive era. Using primary and secondary archival materials, our purpose is to make three main contributions to the literature. First, the paper explores Commons' contribution to the debates over "value" which seems to be somewhat unique in that he explicitly recognized that there exists no unproblematic, intrinsic measure of value, but rather …
Role Of Accounting In Public Expenditure And Monetary Policy In The First Century Ad Roman Empire, David Oldroyd
Role Of Accounting In Public Expenditure And Monetary Policy In The First Century Ad Roman Empire, David Oldroyd
Accounting Historians Journal
Previous authors have argued that Roman coinage was used as an instrument of financial control rather than simply as a means for the state to make payments, without assessing the accounting implications. The article reviews the literary and epigraphic evidence of the public expenditure accounts surrounding the Roman monetary system in the first century AD. This area has been neglected by accounting historians. Although the scope of the accounts supports the proposition that they were used for financial control, the impetus for keeping those accounts originally came from the emperor's public expenditure commitments. This suggests that financial control may have …
Historical Context Of Profesional Ideology And Tension And Strain In The Accounting Profession, Sivakumar Velayutham, M. H. Perera
Historical Context Of Profesional Ideology And Tension And Strain In The Accounting Profession, Sivakumar Velayutham, M. H. Perera
Accounting Historians Journal
A growing literature points to a crisis of confidence in the accounting profession and a lack of commitment by its members to the professional ideology. In this paper the approach developed by MacIntyre is used to place professional ideology in an historical context. The paper argues that the tension and strain in the profession can be related to the changing character of both the contemporary society and professional ideology itself. It concludes by highlighting the need for the profession to develop an ideology to which its members as well as society can relate.

Edward Wild: Advocate Of Simplification And An Organised Profession In Colonial Australia, Garry D. Carnegie, Scott Varker
Edward Wild: Advocate Of Simplification And An Organised Profession In Colonial Australia, Garry D. Carnegie, Scott Varker
Accounting Historians Journal
As far as can be established, Edward Wild's book, Bookkeeping by Double Entry Made Easy, was the second book on accounting to be published in Australia. Apart from the presentation of his simplified system of double entry bookkeeping, Wild advocated the establishment of an organised Australian accounting profession in his book. This paper examines the life and career of Wild and describes and analyses the content of his book. The book is placed within the local Victorian context. Possible influences on Wild's writing are examined and the possible influence of Wild on later developments in Australian accounting is addressed.
Earned Income Credit: Historical Predecessors And Contemporary Evolution, Anthony J. Cataldo
Earned Income Credit: Historical Predecessors And Contemporary Evolution, Anthony J. Cataldo
Accounting Historians Journal
The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 (RRA93) significantly expanded the earned income credit (EIC), which was changed to include low-income taxpayers without dependents. Evolving, most directly, from the "workfare" plan (1972) proposed by Senate Finance Committee Chairman, Russel B. Long, and in response to President Nixon's Family Assistance Program (FAP), the post-1974 EIC was not the first of its kind. It had two predecessors. The EIC of 1923 through 1931 benefitted taxpayers with or without dependents and excluded any "workfare" feature. A second EIC, in name only, was in effect for the 1934 through 1943 tax years. This paper develops …

1826 Contract For Construction Of Facilities At The Pensacola Naval Station And Its Implications For Historical Research Using Agency Theory, O. Ronald Gray, Richard Victor Calvasina
Accounting Historians Journal
This contract dispute enhances our understanding of agency relationships and fosters greater recognition of the limitations and hazards of historical research using an agency literature framework. The accounting records, related memoranda, and reports submitted also provide insight into the nature and character of early defense contract accounting and relationships between these contractors and the government. Difficulties confronted by the Navy in securing a contractor; contract terms; civilian contractor's project accounting records, related memoranda, and correspondence with naval authorities are reviewed. The post-contract correspondence provides insight into how early 19th century government contractors attempted to resolve disputes with the government.
