Voluntary Disclosure In A Nineteenth Century American Corporation: The Demise Of Managerial Information As A Significant Element Of Financial Reporting, Rodney R. Michael Jan 1996

Voluntary Disclosure In A Nineteenth Century American Corporation: The Demise Of Managerial Information As A Significant Element Of Financial Reporting, Rodney R. Michael

Accounting Historians Journal

In a report issued in 1994, the Jenkins Committee advocated the integration of managerial statistics, which could be used to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of a firm's management, into financial statements. This study traces the development, and subsequent demise, of similar managerial information within the financial statements of the Quincy Mining Company in the nineteenth century. Two contemporary models for financial disclosure are developed for comparative purposes and it is concluded that the Quincy Mining Company intentionally restricted the information available to shareholders. By clarifying the disclosure practices of a single firm in an unregulated environment, this study provides …

Rendering The Unfamiliar Intelligible: Discovering The Human Side Of Accounting's Past Through Oral History Interviews, Thomas N. Tyson

Accounting Historians Journal

Two paradigmatic schools are presently exploring twentieth century accounting history. Conventional historians typically examine archival data to determine the origin and development of modern accounting practices. Alternatively, more critical scholars often question the motives of accountants and managers in the design, collection, and use of this same data. Although each school has a different primary objective, both focus on documented events and both usually ignore the more personal, human side of history : the attitudes and perceptions of accountants, managers, and workers regarding accounting numbers and reports. This undocumented, human aspect of accounting history is best revealed through oral history …

Samuel J. Broad's Contributions To The Accounting Profession, Gary John Previts, Thomas R. Robinson Jan 1996

Samuel J. Broad's Contributions To The Accounting Profession, Gary John Previts, Thomas R. Robinson

Accounting Historians Journal

In the decade following the passage of the Federal Securities Laws of 1933 and 1934, the reform of accounting and auditing practices directed authority for selection of accounting principles and auditing procedures away from the discretion of the individual accountant and auditor. Instead, a self-regulatory peer driven process to establish general acceptance for a more limited set of principles and procedures was being initiated. Two events which occurred in 1938 indelibly affected this process, the SEC's decision to issue Accounting Series Release No. 4, which empowered non-governmental entities as potential sources of authoritative support, and the McKesson & Robbins fraud …

Retrospective: Andrew Barr: Longest Serving Sec Chief Accountant, Gary John Previts, Dale L. Flesher

Accounting Historians Journal

Andrew Barr, born in Urbana, Illinois, in 1901, was one of the earliest professional accounting executives to develop a career with the federal government. He died on November 29, 1995 at his Urbana home. Barr worked for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from 1938 to 1972: the last 16 years as chief accountant.1 This tenure made him the longest serving chief accountant to date. After living at the University Club in Washington, DC, for over 40 years, he returned after retirement to Urbana, a city where several generations of the Barr family had lived and worked as brick manufacturers.


Institute Of Chartered Accountants Of Ontario (Icao) And The Emergence Of Ethical Codes, Dean E. Neu, Lubna Saleem Jan 1996

Institute Of Chartered Accountants Of Ontario (Icao) And The Emergence Of Ethical Codes, Dean E. Neu, Lubna Saleem

Accounting Historians Journal

Starting from the premise that ethical codes fulfil important ideological functions, we document the trajectory of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario's [ICAO] ethical code since their incorporation in 1883. In the analysis that follows, we argue that shifts occurred in how the written ethical code spoke of, and conceptualized, "professional ethics". We also propose that these shifts can be read as responses to changing circumstances: the ideological effect being to provide "compelling reasons" for the maintenance of professional privilege. The provided analysis contributes to our understanding of the role and functioning of ethical codes and highlights the political …

Amendment To Statement On Auditing Standards No. 31, "Evidential Matter"; Statement On Auditing Standards, 080, American Institute Of Certified Public Accountants. Auditing Standards Executive Committee

Statements on Auditing Standards

Most of the independent auditors work in forming his or her opinion on financial statements consists of obtaining and evaluating evidential matter concerning the assertions in such financial statements. The measure of the validity of such evidence for audit purposes lies in the judgment of the auditor in this respect, audit evidence differs from legal evidence, which is circumscribed by rigid rules. Evidential matter varies substantially in its influence on the auditor as he or she develops his an opinion with respect to financial statements under audit. The pertinence of the evidence, its objectivity, its timeliness, and the existence of …

Patterns Of Research Productivity And Knowledge Creation At The Accounting Review: 1967-1993, Jacci L. Rodgers, Paul F. Williams Jan 1996

Patterns Of Research Productivity And Knowledge Creation At The Accounting Review: 1967-1993, Jacci L. Rodgers, Paul F. Williams

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper presents an analysis of author productivity in The Accounting Review for the period 1967 through 1993. The stratification observed in other disciplines is evident and is associated with a set of "elite" schools. The most productive authors in TAR are dominated by graduates of these schools. It is also the case that these elite authors increasingly rely on other social science disciplines, notably financial economics and cognitive psychology, for producing accounting knowledge. Evidence is also provided which indicates that the process of elite formation at TAR is more consistent with the use of particularistic rather than universal criteria. …
