Human Resource Accounting: An Historical Perspective, J. David Spiceland, Hilary C. Zaunbrecher Jan 1976

Human Resource Accounting: An Historical Perspective, J. David Spiceland, Hilary C. Zaunbrecher

Accounting Historians Journal

Recent years have witnessed the emergence of numerous treatises on the relative merits of human resource accounting. While the unprecedented pervasiveness of human resource literature suggests that the topic is new to our era, the debate itself is by no means novel. Indeed, the concept of human resource accounting is deeply rooted in the history of economic thought.

Digging In Boston's Accounting Dumps, William Holmes Jan 1976

Digging In Boston's Accounting Dumps, William Holmes

Accounting Historians Journal

New England accounting historians are, of course, lucky. We sit on a whole mess of accounting dumps-state, city, town, local historical societies, museums, and private collections-not to speak of the large college collections. Much of it isn't even indexed. The author gives several brief examples taken from a History of Accounting in Massachusetts which the Massachusetts Society of CPAs will sponsor for publication late in 1976.

How Wrong Was Sombart?, Kenneth S. Most Jan 1976

How Wrong Was Sombart?, Kenneth S. Most

Accounting Historians Journal

Werner Sombart, a political economist of some note, was born and died in Germany. He studied law, economics, history and philosophy at the Universities of Berlin, Rome, and Pisa, and eventually became professor of economics in Berlin. The so-called "Sombart Propositions" have received considerable attention in recent accounting literature. In fact, Sombart went so far as to state that the introduction of accounting was of the highest importance for the development of capitalism, and clearly, such perception deserves special study.

Accounting For Foreign Currency Translation: Current Problems In Historical Perspective, Konrad W. Kubin Jan 1975

Accounting For Foreign Currency Translation: Current Problems In Historical Perspective, Konrad W. Kubin

Accounting Historians Journal

The historical review of the evolution of accounting principles for foreign currency translation reveals that current practice is based on principles which have been developed during periods characterized by (1) wars and political instability, (2) major upheavals of the international monetary system, (3) run-away inflation with significant differences in the inflation rates of various countries, (4) relatively minor international operations in comparison with today's multitude of significant multinational business linkages, and (5) a perception of international operations as being "foreign"-in the original sense of that word-to U. S. companies.

Accounting History, The Accounting Historian, And The Fasb, William G. Shenkir Jan 1975

Accounting History, The Accounting Historian, And The Fasb, William G. Shenkir

Accounting Historians Journal

The Financial Accounting Standards Board--a "bold new effort" in self regulation by the private sector--became the official rule- making body for financial accounting and reporting on July 1, 1973. The Wheat Report, Establishing Financial Accounting Standards, which led to the formation of the FASB was based, in part, upon an historical study of the rule-making efforts of the Accounting Principles Board. At this early juncture in the FASB's tenure, it seem appropriate for those interested in accounting history to: (1) consider the possibilities for their participation in the on-going work of the FASB; and (2) take note of the sources …

Historical Studies In Recent Years In Japan, Kojiro Nishikawa Jan 1975

Historical Studies In Recent Years In Japan, Kojiro Nishikawa

Accounting Historians Journal

Japan is one of the oldest nations in the world and yet one of the "newest." Western bookkeeping methods came in on the top of the native indigenous method which had been firmly established for centuries. Both of these systems developed quite peculiarly in the modern nation of Japan. Yet Japanese accounting historians have not directed a great deal of their research toward these matters perhaps because they consider them too provincial. Nonetheless it would appear that more Japanese accounting scholars must accept the challenge of doing research into these matters in the years to come.
