Accounting And The Invention Of Writing, Kenneth S. Most Mar 1981

Accounting And The Invention Of Writing, Kenneth S. Most

Accounting Historians Notebook

In Vol. 3, No. 2 The Accounting Historians Notebook (Fall, 1980) Professor Louis Goldberg expressed the wish to know whether the view that accounting antedated writing would now represent a generally accepted attitude among present day archaeologists and prehistorians. An earlier issue of the Notebook mentioned the work of Professor Denise Schmandt-Besserat of the University of Texas at Austin, who has made significant discoveries in this field. (See, for example, "Reckoning before Writing", Archaeology, Vol. 32, No. 3 (1979), pp. 23-31, and "The Earliest Precursor of Writing", Scientific American, Vol. 238, No. 6, (June 1968).

Accounting Odyssey, B. G. Harrison Mar 1981

Accounting Odyssey, B. G. Harrison

Accounting Historians Notebook

In the fall 1980 edition of the Accounting Historians Notebook, Professor Louis Goldberg gave an affirmative answer to the question "Did Accounting Antedate Writing?" which had been raised in the Spring issue. He cited the work of Professor V. Gordon Childe to show that the original need for accounting records led to the invention of the earliest system of writing. May I suggest that there is a sequel to this already remarkable discovery, for it appears that accounting also contributed significantly to the development of more sophisticated systems of writing similar to those in use today.

Filings Under Federal Securities Statutes; Statement On Auditing Standards, 037, American Institute Of Certified Public Accountants. Auditing Standards Board

Statements on Auditing Standards

When an independent accountant's report is included in registration statements, proxy statements, or periodic reports filed under the federal securities statutes, the accountant's responsibility, generally, is in substance no different from that involved in other types of reporting. However, the nature and extent of this responsibility are specified in some detail in these statutes and in the related rules and regulations.

Development Of Auditing Standards In Australia, Robert William Gibson, Roger Arnold Jan 1981

Development Of Auditing Standards In Australia, Robert William Gibson, Roger Arnold

Accounting Historians Journal

The development of auditing standards in Australia occurred in three phases. The primary professional initiatives have come from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia. The first phase was marked by F. E. Trigg's presentation to the Australian Congress on Accounting in 1948. In this work Trigg relied heavily on English practice and thought. The second phase was largely a period of inactivity so far as auditing standards were concerned because of concern for other matters of greater urgency. The third phase was marked by the adoption of American ideas and, partly in response to continuing criticism of accounting, a …


Accounting Records Of The East India Company, Vahe Baladouni Jan 1981

Accounting Records Of The East India Company, Vahe Baladouni

Accounting Historians Journal

The rather extensive and complex collection of accounting and related materials of the East India Company may be viewed in four distinct periods. Paradoxically, the first period (1600-1663) is marked by an absence of account books. The second period (1664-1697), however, provides us with a near-complete set of books. The maintenance of three separate sets of accounting records distinguishes the third period (1698-1712) when three East India Companies (London, English, United) were operating simultaneously. From around 1712 until final liquidation of the Company in 1858 - fourth and last archival period - record keeping assumed certain features of modern accounting. …

History Of The Abacus, Keith E. Sugden Jan 1981

History Of The Abacus, Keith E. Sugden

Accounting Historians Journal

As the revolution in computing advances, it is appropriate to step back and look at the earliest practical aid to computation?? abacus. Its formal western origins lie with the Greeks and the expansion of trade in the seventh century BC, and its design and application showed remarkably little change over the following two thousand years. A measure of the usefulness of the abacus is seen by the fact that it survived the advent of algorism by some six centuries but its major significance for western culture lies in its perfect and seminal representation of the decimal system.
