Publishing Patterns In Specialist Accounting History Journals In The English Language, 1996-1999, Garry D. Carnegie, Brad N. Potter
Publishing Patterns In Specialist Accounting History Journals In The English Language, 1996-1999, Garry D. Carnegie, Brad N. Potter
Accounting Historians Journal
While accounting researchers have explored international publishing patterns in the accounting literature generally, little is known about recent contributions to the specialist international accounting history journals. Specifically, this study surveys publishing patterns in the three specialist, internationally refereed, accounting history journals in the English language during the period 1996 to 1999. The survey covers 149 contributions in total and provides empirical evidence on the location of their authors, the subject country or region in each investigation, and the time span of each study. It also classifies the literature examined based on the literature classification framework provided by Carnegie and Napier …

Were Islamic Records Precursors To Accounting Books Based On The Italian Method?, Omar Abdullah Zaid
Were Islamic Records Precursors To Accounting Books Based On The Italian Method?, Omar Abdullah Zaid
Accounting Historians Journal
The precise origin of the accounting records and reports outlined by Pacioli in 1494 and used in the Italian Republics is presently unknown. Historical evidence preserved in Turkey and Egypt indicates that accounting records and reports developed in the early Islamic State were similar to those used in the Italian Republics as outlined by Pacioli in 1494. Furthermore, some of the records and reports used in different parts of the Islamic State are comparable to modern-day books and reports. The religious requirement of Zakat (religious levy) and the increasing responsibilities of the Islamic State were the force behind the development …
Role Of Depreciation And The Investment Tax Credit In Tax Policy And Their Influence On Financial Reporting During The 20th Century, Beth B. Kern
Accounting Historians Journal
Since the inception of the modern income tax, the investment tax credit and depreciation have been some of the most modified provisions. This paper traces the history of major changes in depreciation and the investment tax credit along with the tax policy justifications given at the time the changes were made. In addition, the influence of tax depreciation on financial reporting is also discussed. An historical perspective of these two major provisions in tax should be helpful to policymakers and researchers attempting to assess the effectiveness of these policies.
Social Network Analysis Of The Founders Of Institutionalized Public Accountancy, T. A. Lee
Social Network Analysis Of The Founders Of Institutionalized Public Accountancy, T. A. Lee
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper examines the social relations of the founders of the first institutions of modern public accountancy in Scotland. The study uses archival data to construct social networks prior to 1854. Individual founders in the networks are identified as potentially significant sources of influence in the foundation events. The paper reports the social network analysis in several parts. First, relations between the founders of The Institute of Accountants in Edinburgh (IAE), renamed The Society of Accountants in Edinburgh (SAE), are networked. Second, a similar analysis is made of the foundation of The Institute of Accountants and Actuaries in Glasgow (IAAG). …

Telling Power Of Cca -- A New Zealand Oral History, Rachel F. Baskerville
Telling Power Of Cca -- A New Zealand Oral History, Rachel F. Baskerville
Accounting Historians Journal
This report presents results of research on the failure of the inflation accounting standard in New Zealand. Presentation of the results in three narratives highlights that any such research is a series of interlocking and overlapping events, and that narrative is a direct and efficient means of communicating both causal and transactional components which contributed towards the outcomes. Isolation of the three narratives was chosen to demonstrate that it is not useful to extol an explanatory or interpretative paradigm for accounting history if it is advocated at the expense of sequential accounts of events.
Discovering Indigenous Peoples: Accounting And The Machinery Of Empire, Dean E. Neu
Discovering Indigenous Peoples: Accounting And The Machinery Of Empire, Dean E. Neu
Accounting Historians Journal
This study examines the historical usage of accounting as a technology of government within the domain of government-indigenous peoples relations in Canada. Our thesis is that accounting was salient within the chain of circumstances that influenced the discovery/identification of indigenous peoples as a governable population. By the 1830s, accounting techniques had come to occupy a central place in the military machinery of empire. When the cost-cutting and reformist sentiments prevalent in Britain during the early 1800s encouraged the reconsideration of the military costs of empire, accounting techniques were one of the methods used in the attempt to interrogate military expenditures. …
Historiography, Causality, And Positioning: An Unsystematic View Of Accounting History, David Oldroyd
Historiography, Causality, And Positioning: An Unsystematic View Of Accounting History, David Oldroyd
Accounting Historians Journal
The article reviews recent developments in accounting historiography in relation to the underlying positioning of the participants. It finds that accounting history has located itself within the tradition of social science, which subsumes events into generalizations and generalizations into theory. It reviews the efficacy of causal theories of human behavior and proposes an alternative non-theoretical approach.

Robert Morris And Reporting For The Treasury Under The U.S. Continental Congress, Michael P. Schoderbek
Robert Morris And Reporting For The Treasury Under The U.S. Continental Congress, Michael P. Schoderbek
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper examines the accounting and reporting practices established by Robert Morris during his term as Superintendent of Finance under the Continental Congress from 1781 to 1784. Generally known as the financier of the American Revolution, Morris enacted many important accounting reforms, including his rearrangement of the Treasury to speed the settlement of accounts and the establishment of Continental receivers to collect money from the states. His most important contribution was the preparation of an-nual statements of receipts and expenditures of public money of the Confederation government. These statements, along with a detailed account on money received from the individual …
Management Accounting At The Historical Hudson's Bay Company: A Comparison To 20th Century Practices, Gary P. Spraakman
Management Accounting At The Historical Hudson's Bay Company: A Comparison To 20th Century Practices, Gary P. Spraakman
Accounting Historians Journal
Using an environmental contingency approach, Johnson and Kaplan [1987] argued that virtually all management accounting practices used at the time of their study had been developed by 1925 in response to increased uncertainty caused by geographical expansion and large-scale operations. During the 1821 to 1860 subperiod, the Hudson's Bay Company had significant uncertainty which was largely a result of the dynamic environment of its fur-trade operation. Consequently, it should have developed management accounting practices in response to uncertainty. Moreover, the management accounting practices should have been less extensive in the subperiods before and after 1821 to 1860, as these subperiods …

Evolution Of The Conceptual Framework For Business Enterprises In The United States, Stephen A. Zeff
Evolution Of The Conceptual Framework For Business Enterprises In The United States, Stephen A. Zeff
Accounting Historians Journal
Institutional efforts in the U.S. to develop a conceptual framework for business enterprises can be traced to the Paton and Littleton monograph in 1940 and later to the two Accounting Research Studies by Moonitz and Sprouse in 1962-1963. A committee of the American Accounting Association issued an influential report in which it advocated a decision usefulness approach in 1966, which was carried forward in 1973 by the report of the American Institute of CPAs' Trueblood Committee. All of this laid the groundwork for the conceptual framework project of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which published six concepts statements between …

Labor's Changing Responses To Management Rhetorics: A Study Of Accounting-Based Incentive Plans During The First Half Of The 20th Century, Leslie S. Oakes, Mark A. Covaleski, Mark William Dirsmith
Labor's Changing Responses To Management Rhetorics: A Study Of Accounting-Based Incentive Plans During The First Half Of The 20th Century, Leslie S. Oakes, Mark A. Covaleski, Mark William Dirsmith
Accounting Historians Journal
This study compares organized labor's reactions to changing management rhetorics as these rhetorics surrounded accounting-based incentive plans, including profit sharing. Results suggest that labor's perceptions of profit sharing changed dramatically from the 1900-1930 period to post-World War II. The shift, in turn, prompts an exploration of two research questions: (1) how and why did the national labor discourse around the management rhetoric and its emphasis on accounting information change, and (2) how did this change render unions more governable in their support for accounting-based incentive plans?

Development Of American Ship-Accounting Practices To 1900: A Comparative Study Of Three Vessels, Jan Richard Heier
Development Of American Ship-Accounting Practices To 1900: A Comparative Study Of Three Vessels, Jan Richard Heier
Accounting Historians Journal
Accounting has always been utilitarian in nature. It adapts to the changes in the business environment by meeting the need for new types of information. The change in waterborne transportation in the U.S. during the 19th century provides an example of such an environmental change that led to a need for accounting adaptation. With the advent of the steamboat, old accounting methods were modified and new ones created to meet the changes in the business environment. In the process, a standardized ship-accounting model was developed. The model can be seen in the accounting records of three ships that sailed at …
