(Alternative) Minimum Tax: Precursor To A Flat-Rate Income Tax?, William D. Samson Oct 1996

(Alternative) Minimum Tax: Precursor To A Flat-Rate Income Tax?, William D. Samson

Accounting Historians Notebook

The alternative minimum tax is a complete tax calculation that haunts a relative small, but growing, percentage of individual taxpayers. It has evolved since 1969 from a conceptual nuisance which bothered almost no one to a tax which can be a nightmare for the unsuspecting. The alternative minimum tax with its almost uniform rate structure, applied to a broader base of taxable income, computed alter a large exemption, seems to be a mirror of the "flat" rate income tax proposals that have recently been described in the press. The 25 year history and evolution of the minimum tax seems relevant …


Lessons Of Auditors' Responsibilities, Roy A. Chandler Oct 1996

Lessons Of Auditors' Responsibilities, Roy A. Chandler

Accounting Historians Notebook

Just over a century ago, in 1892, L. R. Dicksee in the first edition of his book, Auditing, indicated the lack of agreement among accountants as to the precise nature of their responsibilities for auditing company accounts due in part to the paucity of legal decisions in cases involving auditors. Within a short space of time, the question of auditors' responsibilities appeared to have been answered in two decisions handed down by the Court of Appeal: In re The London and General Bank (Acct. L. R. 1895, 173; henceforth L&G) and In re The Kingston Cotton Mill Co. (Acct. L. …

Possibility Of And Potential For Misclassification Of Professional Accountants In Antiquity, Stanley C. W. Salvary Oct 1996

Possibility Of And Potential For Misclassification Of Professional Accountants In Antiquity, Stanley C. W. Salvary

Accounting Historians Notebook

The title of this brief note lends itself to a very parochial interpretation; however, the implications of this note are much broader than its title intimates. This paper could very well have been entitled: An Appreciation of Some Research Related Problems in Classifying Professionals in Antiquity: A Research Agenda. This alternate title aptly limits the parochial overtone. However, this note revolves around accounting history and focuses on three pervasive points.

Comments On Development Of Accountancy In Japan And The Jicpa: Now Forty-Seven Years Old, Yoshiro Kimizuka Apr 1996

Comments On Development Of Accountancy In Japan And The Jicpa: Now Forty-Seven Years Old, Yoshiro Kimizuka

Accounting Historians Notebook

Independent accountancy, as a business, was not prevalent in Japan during the first half of the Twentieth Century. Bunjiro Otsubo opened his business in 1890 as the first Independent Accountant (IA). Bankruptcy of a large sugar-manufacturing company in 1909 suggested some need and movement to create an authoritative IA business. However, less than twenty IAs were in practice by 1921. Giant family trusts or "zaibatzu" dominated the Japanese economy until 1945, and disclosure of their financial statements was not generally considered necessary.

Search For Lena E. Mendelsohn, Elliott L. Slocum, Richard G. J. Vangermeersch

Accounting Historians Notebook

During much of the Twentieth Century, public accounting was considered to be a man's profession. Few women had the fortitude or opportunity to challenge the system which generally discriminated against their practice of public accounting. Several papers have identified women pioneers in accountancy and others have documented the difficulties women faced in becoming Certified Public Accountants (CPA) and practicing professionally. Most of these papers have said a little or nothing of Lena E. Mendelsohn, although she is referred to by Meyers and Koval (1994) as ...a woman pioneer in the professional accounting field,...a well-known CPA in Boston. (p. 29) Other …
