Were Islamic Records Precursors To Accounting Books Based On The Italian Method?, Omar Abdullah Zaid Jan 2000

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 Jan 2000

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 Jan 2000

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). …

Determinants Of Other Post -Employment Benefit Plan Reductions And Terminations In The Post -Sfas No. 106 Adoption Era, Bruce Kinloch Johnson Jan 2000

Determinants Of Other Post -Employment Benefit Plan Reductions And Terminations In The Post -Sfas No. 106 Adoption Era, Bruce Kinloch Johnson

Doctoral Dissertations

The purpose of this research was to determine which variables help identify firms that have reduced or eliminated postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEBs). Mittelstaedt et al. (1995) found that the adoption of SFAS No. 106 was one of the major determinants in OPEB reduction decisions. Those authors also found that financial weakness was a determinant in such reductions. This study attempts to determine the possible factors involved in such decisions, including both financial weakness and the OPEB liability, now that its disclosure is mandated by SFAS No. 106.

The theoretical backbone of this study was traced back to the …

Modeling Corporate Bond Default Risk: A Multiple Time Series Approach, Wai-Sum Chan Jan 2000

Modeling Corporate Bond Default Risk: A Multiple Time Series Approach, Wai-Sum Chan

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

A multiple time series approach is used to forecast the short-term u.s. corporate bond default level. These time series have two auxiliary economic variables: U.S. price inflation and U.S. GNP growth rate. Actual U.S. data from the turn of the century to the present are used to estimate the parameters of multivariate time series model. Diagnostic checks are performed to examine adequacy of the model. The model's forecast for the aggregate U.S. bond default level in 2000-2001 are 0.42% and 0.56%, respectively, while the forecast for the speculative-grade default rate in 2000 is 3.6%, which is more pessimistic than some …

Actuarial Analysis Of Retirement Income Replacement Ratios, Robert Keng Heong Lian, Emiliano A. Valdez, Chan Kee Low

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

A measure of level of post-retirement standard of living is the replacement ratio, i.e., percentage of final salary received as annual retirement income derived from savings. The replacement ratio depends on many factors including salary, salary increases, investment returns, and post-retirement mortality. Elementary life contingencies techniques are used to develop a replacement ratio formula and analyze its sensitivity to these factors.
