When Would The Intellectual Background Make A Difference? Or Professors Have Been Important For A Long Time, But What Kind Of Professors?, John W. Durham Mar 1990

When Would The Intellectual Background Make A Difference? Or Professors Have Been Important For A Long Time, But What Kind Of Professors?, John W. Durham

Accounting Historians Notebook

Medieval accounting history affords a fertile ground for studying the impact of the intellectual background on the development of accounting itself. In such a study, four hypotheses can be proposed: that the intellectual background affects accounting only when it reaches out towards accounting practice; that this outreach occurs only when intellectuals have direct, personal contact with accounting practice; that developments in law, philosophy, and related humanities are important; and that developments in mathematics are not important.

Suggestion For The Accounting Classroom, Academy Of Accounting Historians. Education Committee

Accounting Historians Notebook

The charter of the 1990 Education Committee is to get history into the accounting classroom. To do that, we need YOUR help! Our thoughts run as follows. Few professors have the luxury of spending a semester, or even an entire session, teaching history. On the other hand, most of us would not be averse to lightening our classrooms and enlightening our students with historical anecdotes. The problem is that many of us lack the anecdotes themselves : and the teaching materials on which to hang these stories.

Influence Of Firm Size, Strategy, And Structure On The Development Of Accounting, 1776-1989, George J. Staubus Mar 1990

Influence Of Firm Size, Strategy, And Structure On The Development Of Accounting, 1776-1989, George J. Staubus

Accounting Historians Notebook

This paper is a portion of a line of research based on the premise that one's ability to understand and explain the existence of a particular firm's accounting practices, or of typical firm accounting practices, is enhanced by an understanding of the economics of the firm. Both firms and accounting have existed for a long time, having developed together over many centuries. The focus in this paper is on developments in firm size, in firm strategy regarding vertical integration and diversification, and in form of organization as influences on the development of accounting.


British Entrepreneurs And Industrial Revolution Cost Management: A Study Of Innovation, Richard K. Fleischman, Lee D. Parker Mar 1990

British Entrepreneurs And Industrial Revolution Cost Management: A Study Of Innovation, Richard K. Fleischman, Lee D. Parker

Accounting Historians Notebook

Traditional accounting histories date the advent of sophisticated cost accounting from the mid-1880's and credit American innovators of Frederick Taylor's scientific management movement with conceiving the new practices. However, it is counterintuitive to think the entrepreneurs of the British Industrial Revolution would not have developed costing techniques, given their significant methodological advances in other economic areas, such as technology, capital accumulation, and marketing structure development. This paper reports the findings from a survey of surviving business records from twenty-five large industrial firms during the 1760-1850 period, concentrated in the dominant textile and iron industries. Substantial evidence of mature cost management …


Women In Accounting In Great Britain And In The United States -- Some Historical Parallels, Suzanne N. Cory Mar 1990

Women In Accounting In Great Britain And In The United States -- Some Historical Parallels, Suzanne N. Cory

Accounting Historians Notebook

The public accounting profession in the United States has its roots in Great Britain. Chartered accountants from England and Scotland came to this country to account for the capital coming into the States from the Old World [Stevens, 1981, p. 3]. Hence, a history of women in accounting in the United States would be expected to have many parallels with a history of women in accounting in Great Britain.


Natural Business Year: A Review Of Accounting Literature From 1915 Through 1988 Shows A Shift Of Proactive To Reactive Behavior By Accountants, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch, Mark Higgins Mar 1990

Natural Business Year: A Review Of Accounting Literature From 1915 Through 1988 Shows A Shift Of Proactive To Reactive Behavior By Accountants, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch, Mark Higgins

Accounting Historians Notebook

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 brought back the topic of the Natural Business Year in a shocking manner to accountants. The hard work of over seventy years was lost, as individuals and partnerships effectively lost the Natural Business Year alternative. This paper traces the proactive accounting development of the Natural Business Year concept to the reactive mode of the last three decades.

Insights Into The Recent Proposals To Change The Cpa Exam, Wilbert Schwotzer Mar 1990

Insights Into The Recent Proposals To Change The Cpa Exam, Wilbert Schwotzer

Accounting Historians Notebook

Proposed changes to the CPA exam and the resulting discussion and debate suggest the need to review the source and purposes of the exam. The State Board of Accountancy of each state has statutory responsibility for the preparation, administration, and grading of the CPA exam. All fifty-four Boards of Accountancy purchase the preparation and grading services of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Board of Examiners. Thus, the Board of Examiners is the sole provider and designer of the CPA exam. The CPA exam, as a licensing exam, is intended to protect the public welfare by testing for minimal …


Concerns And The Profession Of Accountancy, Eugene H. Flegm, Pamela J. Duke Mar 1990

Concerns And The Profession Of Accountancy, Eugene H. Flegm, Pamela J. Duke

Accounting Historians Notebook

Expressing a growing concern about the proliferation of accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the trend these pronouncements appear to be taking toward a more theoretical viewpoint, Gene Flegm was particularly critical of FAS Statements 94, 95, and 96. These deal with consolidation of majority-owned subsidiaries, statement of cash flows, and accounting for income taxes. While intended to correct accounting abuses, in his opinion these statements not only fail in their intent, but actually create opportunities for abuse by complicating an already complex reporting system and do nothing to increase the reliability of accounting information.

Historical Evolution Of The Extraordinary Item Concept, Jack O. Hall, C. Richard Aldridge Mar 1990

Historical Evolution Of The Extraordinary Item Concept, Jack O. Hall, C. Richard Aldridge

Accounting Historians Notebook

The notion of extraordinary items has been clearly defined since the Accounting Principles Board issued "Reporting the Results of Operations," Opinions of the Accounting Principles Board No. 30 in 1973. The opinion established the criteria of infrequency and unusualness for extraordinary item treatment. In addition, the opinion discussed the proper presentation of extraordinary items in an income statement format. Although extraordinary item treatment is a well-understood concept, little has been written about the forces and developments that led to the issuance of Opinion No. 30. The purpose of this paper is to review the historical developments that led to the …

Some Thoughts Concerning The Board Of Trustees Of The Academy, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch Mar 1990

Some Thoughts Concerning The Board Of Trustees Of The Academy, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch

Accounting Historians Notebook

I attended a four hour key member meeting on Friday, December 1, in Atlanta and then a two-hour review with some members on Saturday afternoon, December 2, in Atlanta. My goal was to see what the trustees could do to help The Academy. My reading of many books on "Boards" did not yield much specific help, as almost all were written for the private sector. The one book that was not for the private sector assumed that the organization had a full-time and paid staff, which is far from what our organization has or ever will have. Your responses on …

Plus Ca Change, Plus C'Est La Meme Chose: A Study In Accounting For Changing Price Levels In Germany And The Usa, Moyra J. M. Kedslie, N. M. A. Hussaen

Accounting Historians Notebook

Prior to World War I, accountants and academics generally advocated the preparation of accounting statements based on an assumption of a stable monetary unit. During the war, the industrialised countries experienced moderate inflation but this was reasonably quickly controlled in the USA and the UK. However, post war inflation in Germany was not so rapidly controlled and revealed the shortcomings of accounts prepared under traditional assumptions. This stimulated several academics to consider ways in which this problem might be overcome, and their studies were to provide the foundations for later work on inflation accounting in the USA and the UK.

Accounting For Labor In The Early 19th Century: The U.S. Arms Making Experience, Thomas N. Tyson Mar 1990

Accounting For Labor In The Early 19th Century: The U.S. Arms Making Experience, Thomas N. Tyson

Accounting Historians Notebook

The Springfield armory was the largest and among the most important prototypes of the modern factory establishment, and its accounting controls were the most sophisticated in use before the 1840's (Chandler, 1977). Until that time, the armory's accounting system did not integrate piece-rate accounting and a clock-regulated workday into prespecified norms of output. Hoskin & Macve (1988) have argued that accounting was unable to establish norms, increase labor productivity, and thus attain its full disciplinary power until a West Point managerial component was established in the 1840's. They then called for further discourse to verify or refute this contention.


Pictures And Public Relations In Corporate Annual Reports, Dale L. Flesher Mar 1990

Pictures And Public Relations In Corporate Annual Reports, Dale L. Flesher

Accounting Historians Notebook

A corporate annual report has a wider purpose than the mere communication of financial information. The report is a public relations tool to sell the firm to interested readers. The firm's story is told using the traditional methods financial statements, notes, management letter, and auditor's report. But sooner or later, the firm adopts the use of pictures and narrative captions to aid in the telling of its story. This study examined the first use of photos by 14 large corporations. The average year of first usage was 1947. In most cases, companies evolved slowly into the use of pictures, but …
