During the second half of the nineteenth century, five Great Exhibitions took place in Paris. The French state was highly involved in their financing and management which led to the implementation of public finance rules. Because of specific managerial constraints, public accounting systems and practices were adapted to meet project management purposes. This research focuses on the roles that can be fulfilled by this accounting system. For this purpose, the classification system of organizational roles of accounting by Burchell et al. (1980) is used, and the changes in potential roles of accounting over time according to political background and parliamentary control are considered.
19世纪下半叶,巴黎举办了五次大型展览。法国政府高度参与了它们的融资和管理,这导致了公共财政规则的实施。由于具体的管理限制,公共会计制度和做法被调整以满足项目管理的目的。本研究的重点是该会计系统可以发挥的作用。为此,使用了Burchell等人(1980)的会计组织角色分类系统,并考虑了会计根据政治背景和议会控制而随时间变化的潜在角色。

Co-authorship in accounting history: advantages and pitfalls 会计史上的合著:优势与缺陷

Relatively little has been written about co-authorship in accounting and even less specific to accounting history. This paper endeavours to track co-authorship patterns in the discipline, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The three specialist accounting history journals provide the data to render quantitative judgements, whilst a survey of accounting history scholars has generated information on how co-authorship is perceived in the field, particularly its benefits and pitfalls. A matching technique is used to gauge whether patterns in accounting history are similar to those within the broader accounting discipline. Consideration will also be given to comparisons of how co-authorship is viewed by US and non-US academicians.
相对而言,很少有人写过关于共同作者在会计,甚至更少具体到会计历史。本文试图从定量和定性两方面跟踪该学科的合著模式。这三家专业会计史期刊提供了量化判断的数据,而对会计史学者的调查产生了关于该领域如何看待合作的信息,特别是它的好处和缺陷。使用匹配技术来衡量会计历史中的模式是否与更广泛的会计学科中的模式相似。还将考虑比较美国和非美国学者如何看待共同作者。

The formation and early years of the Union Européenne des Experts Comptables Economiques et Financiers (UEC), 1951–63: or how the Dutch tried to bring down the UEC 欧洲经济和金融会计联盟(UEC)的形成和早期,1951 - 63:或荷兰如何试图建立UEC

This paper reviews the first phase of the history of the Union Européenne des Experts Comptables Economiques et Financiers (UEC) from its formation in 1951 to 1963. In 1963, the UEC's membership, which initially was confined to Continental Europe, was significantly changed by the accession of accountancy bodies from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. During this period, the UEC served as a focal point in debates over a possible future unification of the accountancy profession in Europe. There were considerable differences of view on this point between the bodies which formed the UEC and those which initially stayed outside. In particular, the paper highlights the role played by the main Dutch accountancy body, the Nederlands Instituut van Accountants (NIVA), which took a decidedly hostile attitude towards the UEC. It is shown how the creation of the European Economic Community (EEC) and its plans to create a common market for accountancy services brought about a clash between the UK and Dutch bodies on the one hand and the UEC on the other, which was resolved in 1963 by the negotiated accession of the former outsiders to the UEC.
本文回顾了欧洲专家、比较、经济和金融家联盟(UEC)从1951年成立到1963年的第一阶段历史。1963年,由于英国、荷兰和斯堪的纳维亚的会计机构的加入,最初只限于欧洲大陆的UEC成员发生了重大变化。在此期间,UEC成为欧洲未来可能统一会计职业的辩论的焦点。在这一点上,组成欧洲共同体的机构与最初留在共同体之外的机构之间存在相当大的意见分歧。特别是,本文强调了荷兰主要会计机构荷兰会计师协会(NIVA)所发挥的作用,该协会对UEC采取了坚决的敌对态度。它显示了欧洲经济共同体(EEC)的创建及其创建会计服务共同市场的计划如何带来了英国和荷兰机构一方面与UEC之间的冲突,另一方面是UEC,这是在1963年通过谈判加入UEC的前局外人解决的。

The Life and Writings of Stuart Chase (1888–1985): From an Accountant's Perspective 斯图尔特·蔡斯的生活和著作(1888-1985):从一个会计的角度

With the various scandals and frauds which have bedevilled the accounting profession in recent years, Dean Neu and Duncan Green could not have better timed the launch of their book. The title of the book reflects the central theme that the authors pursue doggedly throughout their analysis of the various crises with which the profession in Canada and many other countries has had to cope. This tension between, on the one hand, offering a service to the public and, on the other, providing a profitable living for the profession’s members is not easily resolved. In the light of corporate scandals, it is often suggested that practitioners are incapable of placing the public interest above their own private interest and that the only way to deal with professional malfeasance is through greater government regulation. The authors, however, accept that regulation via this route has been no more successful than the attempts at self-regulation by the profession. Chapter 1 is entitled ‘The End of Innocence’, but one is left wondering whose innocence? The authors reveal that corporate frauds had been occurring for decades, so it is unlikely that anyone remained naive for so long. In fact, a complete historical review of the profession would reveal that similar questions were being asked of practitioners back in the nineteenth century, and it was not uncommon to find newspapers calling audits ‘a delusion and a snare’. If there was an age of innocence in the public perception of the western accounting profession, it ended with the scandals of the late nineteenth century. Practitioners may question whether the authors are fully aware of the commercial pressures which they, the practitioners, face; on page 14, the outdated notion that ‘the [audit] fee is based on the time spent doing the audit testing’ is asserted. Sadly those days have long gone, and instead auditors have now to price their services beforehand and work to that target – it is the need to bring home the completed audit in budget that often has led auditors to cut corners. The assertion is then contradicted on the next page, by the claim that audit fees are controlled by company management. Another claim (also on page 15) that audit fees ‘[are] still the large firms’ major revenue source’ seems equally out of touch with the modern world. Chapter 2 looks at the business of public accounting and introduces the notion that bad things happen – normal accidents. The idea of normal accidents refers to the direct result of a failure to maintain the balance between professional privilege and ethical responsibility. The existence of a patchwork of regulation rather than a cohesive framework allows instances of bad practice occasionally to slip through. There is a very competent and succinct review of the professionalization literature (including the usual sources such as Larson, Richardson, Johnson, Abbott and Friedson) given in Chapter 3.

近年来,各种丑闻和欺诈一直困扰着会计行业,迪安•纽和邓肯•格林选择了最好的时机出版他们的新书。这本书的标题反映了作者在分析加拿大和许多其他国家的专业人士不得不应对的各种危机时坚持不懈地追求的中心主题。一方面,为公众提供服务,另一方面,为该行业的成员提供有利可图的生活,这两者之间的紧张关系并不容易解决。鉴于公司丑闻,人们常常认为,从业者无法将公众利益置于个人利益之上,处理专业渎职行为的唯一途径是加强政府监管。然而,作者承认,通过这种途径进行的监管并不比行业自我监管的尝试更成功。第一章的标题是“纯真的终结”,但人们不禁要问,谁是纯真的?作者透露,企业欺诈已经发生了几十年,因此不太可能有人在这么长时间内保持天真。事实上,对审计行业进行一次完整的历史回顾就会发现,早在19世纪,从业者就被问到类似的问题,报纸称审计是“一种错觉和陷阱”,这并不罕见。如果说在公众对西方会计职业的认知中,曾经有过一个纯真的时代,那么这个时代随着19世纪末的丑闻而终结。从业者可能会质疑作者是否完全意识到他们作为从业者所面临的商业压力;在第14页,“(审计)费用是基于花费在审计测试上的时间”这一过时的观念被断言。遗憾的是,那些日子已经一去不复返了,审计师现在必须事先为他们的服务定价,并努力实现这一目标——需要在预算中完成审计工作,这往往导致审计师走捷径。这一断言随后在下一页被反驳,声称审计费用是由公司管理层控制的。另一种说法(也在第15页),即审计费用“仍然是大公司的主要收入来源”,似乎同样与现代世界脱节。第二章考察了公共会计的业务,并介绍了坏事发生的概念——正常事故。正常事故的概念是指未能保持职业特权和道德责任之间的平衡的直接结果。监管制度的拼凑,而不是一个有凝聚力的框架,使得不良做法偶尔得以漏风。第三章对专业化文献(包括拉尔森、理查森、约翰逊、阿博特和弗里德森等常用文献)进行了非常有力而简洁的回顾。特别是,Neu和Green研究了道德和道德规范在关于专业权力和合法性的话语中的作用,并试图减少正常事故的发生率。当他们夸大了别人所说的“行业杂志”所起的作用时,他们的论点开始进入更有争议的领域。纽和格林认为,CA杂志是道德和霸权领导的工具,服务于美国领导人的目的

Origins of medieval Exchequer accounting 中世纪财政会计的起源
Pub Date : 2009-11-01 DOI: 10.1080/09585200802667147
M. Jones
The origins of the English Exchequer's accounting system have been the subject of controversy since fitz Nigel's treatise in c.1179. The English Exchequer system was the first known medieval charge and discharge system. In England, it became the dominant accounting system in the Middle Ages and persisted in some English institutions until the nineteenth century. This article explores the possible origins of the English Exchequer accounting system which have been suggested by previous writers: Carolingian Empire; contemporary Western states (Sicily, Flanders, France or Normandy); Anglo-Saxon England; Norman England; or invented under Henry I. The balance of probabilities suggests little evidence of a foreign influence on the English Exchequer, rather that the English Exchequer influenced other states. Certain features of the Exchequer appear to have existed in England before 1100 either in Anglo-Saxon England (territorial structure, the treasury, coinage and tallies, pre-existing tax system) or in Norman England (the King's household, scribes and literacy). Finally, in Henry I's reign the abacus, accounting rolls and Justices in Eyre were developed. These notable features of Exchequer accounting appear to have been ‘assembled’ into a workable system by Roger of Salisbury, under the direction of Henry I. A key trigger for this was probably the need to raise a marriage aid for Henry I's daughter, Matilda. The paper also shows that the accountability based system of the Exchequer shares some similar characteristics with earlier societies in Mesopotamia and in Rome.
英国财政部会计制度的起源一直是争议的主题,因为菲茨·奈杰尔的论文在c.1179。英国的财政制度是已知的第一个中世纪的收费和收费制度。在英国,它在中世纪成为占主导地位的会计制度,并在一些英国机构中一直持续到19世纪。本文探讨了前人提出的英国财政会计制度的可能起源:加洛林帝国;当代西方国家(西西里岛、佛兰德斯、法国或诺曼底);盎格鲁-撒克逊英格兰;诺曼·英格兰;或亨利一世(Henry I.)时期发明的。从可能性的平衡来看,几乎没有证据表明外国对英国财政产生了影响,相反,英国财政影响了其他国家。财政部的某些特征似乎在1100年之前就存在于英格兰,要么是在盎格鲁-撒克逊英格兰(领土结构、财政、铸币和计数、原有的税收制度),要么是在诺曼英格兰(国王的家庭、抄写员和读写能力)。最后,在亨利一世统治时期,《爱》中的算盘、账簿和法官得到了发展。在亨利一世的指导下,索尔兹伯里的罗杰似乎已经将这些财政会计的显著特征“组装”成一个可行的系统。其中一个关键的触发因素可能是需要为亨利一世的女儿玛蒂尔达筹集婚姻援助。本文还表明,以问责制为基础的财政制度与早期的美索不达米亚和罗马社会有一些相似的特征。

Governmental influences in the development of Chinese accounting during the modern era 政府对近代中国会计发展的影响
Pub Date : 2009-11-01 DOI: 10.1080/09585200903246767

This paper reviews the historical development of accounting in China during the modern era since 1911, dividing the period into three phases: the pre-revolution period (1911–49); the pre-reform period (1949–79); and the current period (1979–to date). Attention is focused on the development of accounting during the current period. This paper critically evaluates an important phenomenon in Chinese accounting history – governmental dominance. It reveals that there have been two forces at work during the modern era, governmental control and outside influence. In China, the state has dominated the evolutionary process of accounting despite strong external influences, e.g. from Japan in the early part of the twentieth century, from the Soviets in the 1950s, and from the West more recently. The article examines accounting developments in their social, political and cultural environment, and concludes that with the Western influence increasingly strong, particularly given the world-wide trend towards the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, the Chinese government can maintain its controlling power over accounting affairs for the foreseeable future.
本文回顾了1911年以来中国现代会计的历史发展,将其分为三个阶段:革命前阶段(1911 - 1949);改革前时期(1949 - 1979);以及当前时期(1979年至今)。关注的焦点是当期会计的发展。本文批判性地评价了中国会计史上的一个重要现象——政府主导。它揭示了现代社会有两股力量在起作用,即政府控制和外部影响。在中国,尽管有强大的外部影响,如20世纪初的日本、20世纪50年代的苏联以及最近的西方,国家仍主导着会计的演变过程。本文考察了会计在社会、政治和文化环境中的发展,并得出结论,随着西方影响力的日益强大,特别是考虑到采用国际财务报告准则的全球趋势,中国政府可以在可预见的未来保持其对会计事务的控制权。

In 1803, Pierre Boucher of Bordeaux, France, published the second edition of an accounting textbook, La science des négocians et teneurs de livres, with sections on agricultural, nautical, and merchant accounting, an extensive commercial dictionary, discussions of accounting terminology and corrections, and numerous journal entries. Boucher's books appeared at a time of enormous change in French accounting, tracking momentous economic growth. Using the framework of new institutional economics, we argue that Boucher's work contributed to technical improvements in business records that permitted the lowering of transaction costs, at a time when such improvements could bring high returns in the merchandising and agricultural sectors.
1803年,法国波尔多的皮埃尔·布歇(Pierre Boucher)出版了第二版会计教科书《La science des n gocios et teneurers de livres》,其中包括农业、航海和商业会计的章节,一本内容广泛的商业词典,对会计术语和更正的讨论,以及大量的日志条目。鲍彻的书出现在法国会计发生巨大变化的时期,追踪着重大的经济增长。利用新制度经济学的框架,我们认为鲍彻的工作促进了商业记录的技术改进,从而降低了交易成本,而这种改进可以为商业和农业部门带来高回报。

America's greatest technological achievement of the nineteenth century was the completion of the transcontinental railroad. The ensuing political scandal over the disposition of millions of dollars in government bonds led to congressional hearings that revealed accounting and reporting practices for construction contracts that obscured the relationship between the two companies involved – the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Credit Mobilier of America. Some of the accounting practices, such as the reporting of assets, liabilities, and capital matched contemporary practices of the mid-nineteenth century. Other practices, such as accounting for stock dividends and bond discounts, may have been first employed by the two organizations, but some eventually made their way into common practice among railroads of that era.
19世纪美国最伟大的科技成就是横贯大陆的铁路的建成。随后,有关数百万美元政府债券处置的政治丑闻引发了国会听证会,揭露了建筑合同的会计和报告惯例,掩盖了所涉及的两家公司——联合太平洋铁路公司和美国移动信贷公司之间的关系。一些会计惯例,如资产、负债和资本的报告符合19世纪中期的当代惯例。其他的一些方法,比如股票股利和债券折扣,可能是这两个组织最先采用的,但其中一些方法最终成为了那个时代铁路公司的普遍做法。
