Labor And Costing: The Employees' Dilemma, Stephen P. Walker, Falconer Mitchell
Labor And Costing: The Employees' Dilemma, Stephen P. Walker, Falconer Mitchell
Accounting Historians Journal
The paper analyzes the discordant reactions of labor to the introduction of uniform costing in the British printing industry during the early 20th century. The paper reveals that trade unions assisted employers in the quest for a costing-based solution to the inveterate problem of excessive price competition in the printing sector. At the same time, rank-and-file unionists were fearful of the exploitative potential of one element of the prescribed costing solution : time recording. It is shown that labor hostility was sited at the point where costing converged with scientific management in the organization. Evidence is presented which confirms the …
Income Tax Allocation: The Continuing Controversy In Historical Perspective, Sally M. Schultz, Roxanne Therese Johnson
Income Tax Allocation: The Continuing Controversy In Historical Perspective, Sally M. Schultz, Roxanne Therese Johnson
Accounting Historians Journal
The appropriate means of accounting for income taxes on financial statements has been among the most hotly debated and frequently recycled issues of the past 50 years. This retrospective account begins with the issuance of the first professional standards during the 1930s and 1940s, and illustrates how theoretical arguments, developed in professional and academic journals during the 1950s, were subsequently recycled and revised during later decades. The problems that led to reconsideration of the deferred tax issue by both the APB during the 1960s and the FASB during the 1980s and 1990s are discussed, as are the solutions offered by …

Follow-Up To: Recent Insights Into Mesopotamian Accounting Of The 3rd Millennium B.C.: Correction To Table 1, Richard Mattessich
Follow-Up To: Recent Insights Into Mesopotamian Accounting Of The 3rd Millennium B.C.: Correction To Table 1, Richard Mattessich
Accounting Historians Journal
In the following, the corrected version of Table 1 to the above-mentioned paper [Mattessich, 1998] is shown. The author apologizes for having supplied (on p. 16) an obsolete version (based on incorrect conversion rates). In consequence, the figures of this table did not match with the figures of the first 17 lines of the commentary in the subsequent section, "UNEXPLAINED DISCREPANCIES AND OTHER ITEMS TO BE CLARIFIED" (p. 17). The present version does match this original commentary (a proof that two versions of the table got switched erroneously). However, I ask the reader to regard my interpretations of Nissen et …

Early Efforts Of The U.S. Public Accounting Profession To Investigate The Use Of Statistical Sampling, James Joseph Tucker, Frank C. Lordi
Early Efforts Of The U.S. Public Accounting Profession To Investigate The Use Of Statistical Sampling, James Joseph Tucker, Frank C. Lordi
Accounting Historians Journal
The study suggests that the AICPA's efforts to investigate the use of statistical sampling appear to have been catalyzed by the confluence of the growing dissatisfaction with the traditional approach to sampling and the widespread recognition of the benefits of statistical sampling which were being realized in other professions and in industry. The fact that large corporations had begun to use statistical sampling in accounting and auditing lent additional urgency to the need to address the issue. In addition, some doubted the tenability of traditional sampling if challenged in court by a statistician. The study also examines the research efforts …
Influence Of Scottish Accountants In The United States: The Early Case Of The Society Of Accountants In Edinburgh, T. A. Lee
Accounting Historians Journal
This study represents part of a long-term research program to investigate the influence of U.K. accountants on the development of professional accountancy in other parts of the world. It examines the impact of a small group of Scottish chartered accountants who emigrated to the U.S. in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Set against a general theory of emigration, the study's main results reveal the significant involvement of this group in the founding and development of U.S. accountancy. The influence is predominantly with respect to public accountancy and its main institutional organizations. Several of the individuals achieved considerable eminence in …

Reexamination Of The Development Of The Accounting Profession - Critical Events From 1912-1940, Ram S. Sriram, Gloria Vollmers
Reexamination Of The Development Of The Accounting Profession - Critical Events From 1912-1940, Ram S. Sriram, Gloria Vollmers
Accounting Historians Journal
This study reexamines the accounting profession's response to opportunities and incentives given it during three unique periods in its history to foster reliable accounting, reporting and auditing practices. By profession, we mean the auditors of publicly held companies as represented by the American Institute of Accountants and its predecessor, the American Association of Public Accountants (AAPA). We use two models of professionalism, the Functionalist and the Conflict models, to interpret the profession's response to these events. We find that both self interest and the public interest may have motivated many of the actions taken. These motivations are not, however, mutually …

Samuel Paul Garner spent nearly seven decades, as a student, professor, administrator, leader and visionary, enhancing the understanding and development of our academic community. Born in 1910, he studied at Duke University, then briefly as a non degree student at Columbia before teaching and then entering the Ph.D. program at the University of Texas at Austin. At Texas, under the direction of George Hillis Newlove, he focused upon accounting. His interest in history had been kindled by a noted economic historian Earl J. Hamilton, under whom Garner had studied at Duke. His first post doctoral appointment would be his lifelong …

Use Of Historical Data In Accounting Research: The Case Of The American Sugar Refining Company, Robert J. Bricker, Kevin Brown
Use Of Historical Data In Accounting Research: The Case Of The American Sugar Refining Company, Robert J. Bricker, Kevin Brown
Accounting Historians Journal
In 1908, the American Sugar Refining Company (ASR) reversed its long-held policy of secrecy as to its financial condition and performance. Prior work, applying contemporary capital market methods to ASR security price data of that period, has suggested a value to ASR shareholders of this policy reversal. This paper examines the historical record of that time and presents additional evidence on this matter, particularly in terms of identifying potentially confounding events occurring during the period under study. The results of this analysis suggest a difficulty in attributing observed abnormal returns to ASR's secrecy policy reversal on the basis of the …

Accounting History: The Contribution Of Osamu Zojima, John K. Courtis
Accounting Historians Journal
In 1987, Professor Kojima published his 16 chapter Japanese version of Introduction to Accounting History. His intention was to prepare an English translation, but he died on 21 February 1989 from cardiac infarction having reached the middle of the 13th chapter with an unfinished handwritten first draft. After this draft was subsequently typed, the unfinished portion of the English translation was completed by Mr E. Usami. Consultation with Professor B. S. Yamey resulted in the correction of errors by Professor Kojima's loyal colleagues, Professors Yoshihiro Hirabayashi (Osaka City University), Hiroyasu Okitsu (Kinki University) and Tsuneo Nakano (Kobe University).

Antecedents Of Modern Earnings Management Research: Income Smoothing In Literature, 1954-1965, Dale A. Buckmaster
Antecedents Of Modern Earnings Management Research: Income Smoothing In Literature, 1954-1965, Dale A. Buckmaster
Accounting Historians Journal
An earlier article reviewed income smoothing in literature published up through 1953. This article extends that review through 1965, the year preceding the publication of the first modern empirical earnings management studies. The focus of this article is on the 1964 Gordon article which was the stimulus for those early income smoothing studies that began to appear in 1966 and marked the beginning of modern empiricism in accounting literature. Critical reading of Gordon's article suggests that he drew upon both earlier accounting and economics literature in formulating his theory of income smoothing. Review of the relevant earlier literature demonstrates that …
Informing Historical Research In Accounting And Management: Traditions, Philosophies, And Opportunities, Lee D. Parker
Informing Historical Research In Accounting And Management: Traditions, Philosophies, And Opportunities, Lee D. Parker
Accounting Historians Journal
Historical research in accounting and management, hitherto largely neglected as a field of inquiry by many management and accounting researchers, has experienced a resurgence of interest and activity in research conferences and journals over the past decade. The potential lessons of the past for contemporary issues have been rediscovered, but the way forward is littered with antiquarian narratives, methodologically naive analyses, ideologically driven interpretation and ignorance of the traditions, schools and philosophy of the craft by accounting and management researchers as well as traditional and critical historians themselves. This paper offers an introduction to contributions made to the philosophies and …

Defining Auditor's Responsibilities, Joni J. Young
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper explores the efforts of the audit profession to dominate definitions of their roles and responsibilities throughout the last two decades. The paper considers alternative definitions of these roles and responsibilities as forwarded by others and the justifications and defenses provided by auditors to legitimize their conceptions of these matters.

Evolution Of Professional Enforcement In Texas : An Examination Of Violations And Sanctions, Mary E. Harston, Sandra T. Welch
Evolution Of Professional Enforcement In Texas : An Examination Of Violations And Sanctions, Mary E. Harston, Sandra T. Welch
Accounting Historians Journal
The purpose of this paper is to examine the enforcement of the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct (Rules) from 1946 to 1978. This period encompasses the early regulation of the Texas accounting profession after the passage of the Texas Public Accountancy Act (Act) in 1945. The Act and accompanying Rules remained in effect until 1979, when the Texas legislature enacted new accountancy legislation which inaugurated a more regulatory era. Results indicate that enforcement of the Rules of Conduct was a process evolving over time as both the state and professional political systems impacted the behavior of the Texas State Board …
Archival Researchers: An Endangered Species?, Richard K. Fleischman, Thomas N. Tyson
Archival Researchers: An Endangered Species?, Richard K. Fleischman, Thomas N. Tyson
Accounting Historians Journal
In recent years accounting historiography has been enriched by a considerable volume of debate surrounding the chronology and evolution of accounting theory and practice. By virtue of their attempts to explain the processes of change, accounting historians have become identified with a paradigm or world view that constitutes the theoretical context within which their research findings are couched. Scholars have either self-avowed their paradigmatic affiliations or have had their work so classified in the writings of others. Fleischman et al. [1996a], for example, trichotomized the field of industrial revolution cost accounting into three "schools": the Neoclassical (economic rationalist), the Foucauldian, …
