Willard J. Graham: A Renegade Accountant, Grover L. Porter Mar 1985

Willard J. Graham: A Renegade Accountant, Grover L. Porter

Accounting Historians Notebook

While it may be somewhat unconventional to use the term "Renegade" in a positive sense, that is the way the authors are using the term to refer to the late Willard J. Graham who died in 1966. We are using the term to mean "one who rejects tradition" when to do so is in the best interests of the cause. In this case, the cause is to assure that "The information presented in accounting reports should be useful for making decisions".

Request For Nominees For Contributors To Accounting Thought, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch Mar 1985

Request For Nominees For Contributors To Accounting Thought, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch

Accounting Historians Notebook

I would like to share with you an idea expressed to me by Professor Paul A.M. Van Philips of the University of Amsterdam. Professor Van Philips said that an outstanding weakness of accounting is that we do not have a book equivalent to Joseph Schurnpeter's History of Economic Analysis. We have no one place to send students and practitioners of accounting for the rich heritage of accounting writers.


Modern Mesopotamian Accounting, Douglas Garbutt Mar 1985

Modern Mesopotamian Accounting, Douglas Garbutt

Accounting Historians Notebook

All accounting historians know that the Ancient Mesopotamian were the first bookkeepers, but little attention has been paid to more recent history. In 1915-1917, the colorful character of Harry St. John Bridger Philby played a significant part in the importation of British approaches to accounting in the southern part of Mesopotamia, which at that time began to adopt the Arab name for the Country, Allraq.


Some Aspects Of The Rule Of St. Benedict, Christopher J. Cowton Mar 1985

Some Aspects Of The Rule Of St. Benedict, Christopher J. Cowton

Accounting Historians Notebook

The purpose of this article is to outline and discuss some themes of particular interest in a classic of western Christian organization, the Rule of St. Benedict. While the focus of the Rule is on the worship of the Community - the "opus Dei" - there are a number of interesting observations regarding internal control of material possessions and the management of trading relationships.


Finances Of All Saints Church In Rome, Robert William Gibson Mar 1985

Finances Of All Saints Church In Rome, Robert William Gibson

Accounting Historians Notebook

The history of All Saints tells us that minute books and registers have survived from the first church. The register of services kept weekly and even daily since 1881 in the vestry of the two successive churches provides much information. The registers of baptisms, marriages and burials date from December 1825. The story of how these records survived two world wars is a romantic story of the courage and initiative of a trio of English matrons who had long resided in Rome with their Italian husbands.

John Caldwell Colt: A Notorious Accountant, Louis Goldberg, Williard E. Stone

Accounting Historians Journal

John C. Colt was the author of a successful bookkeeping text which had many school adoptions and at least 46 editions. During an argument with Samuel Adams, his publisher, over the cost of his 5th edition, Colt killed Adams with a hatchet. Convicted of murder and condemned to execution by hanging, Colt committed suicide in prison in 1842. His text, The Science of Double Entry Bookkeeping, first published in 1838, continued in print until 1856.
