ABSTRACT Upon reading and reviewing Edwards’ A History of Corporate Financial Reporting, a sense exists of how many conversations have taken place on how accounting is practised, and how the nature of accounting communications has changed over centuries. A philosophy of communication is needed to move towards a history of accounting as conversations. Pragmaticism, as set out by Dewey and others, indicates that an understanding of communication practices as agency in accounting is needed to re-cast the history of accounting as conversation. This volume provides the temporal co-ordinates for building a philosophy of communication in accounting.
在阅读和回顾爱德华兹的《企业财务报告的历史》时,有一种感觉是,关于会计是如何实践的,以及几个世纪以来会计沟通的性质是如何变化的,有多少对话是存在的。要走向会计作为对话的历史,就需要一种沟通的哲学。正如杜威和其他人所提出的,实用主义表明,需要将沟通实践理解为会计中的代理,以重新塑造会计作为对话的历史。本卷提供了建立会计沟通哲学的时间坐标。

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to discuss women’s participation in the accounting history of Colombia from colonial times to the mid-twentieth century. Thus, this study examines specifically the accounts of convents, the education of women in accounting, and the participation of women in the pursuit of the profession, analysed via a variety of source documents and Scott’s methodological approach and conceptual framework. The latter explains gender as the social organisation of relations between sexes. Although one can see some progress over time, it is evident that access to and application of accounting knowledge has been quite limited for Colombian women. This situation points to social difference and distance, and it is also relevant for explaining the accounting history of Colombia.
摘要:本研究的目的是探讨从殖民时期到二十世纪中叶,哥伦比亚女性在会计史上的参与情况。因此,本研究通过各种原始文件和斯科特的方法方法和概念框架分析了修道院的账目、妇女在会计方面的教育以及妇女在从事这一职业方面的参与。后者将性别解释为两性关系的社会组织。虽然人们可以看到随着时间的推移取得了一些进展,但很明显,哥伦比亚妇女获得和应用会计知识的机会相当有限。这种情况指出了社会差异和距离,这也与解释哥伦比亚的会计历史有关。

Too much to account for. The Crown of Aragon and the collapse of the auditing system in late-medieval Sicily 太多要解释的了。阿拉贡的王冠和中世纪晚期西西里审计制度的崩溃

ABSTRACT This study focuses on the accounting and auditing system of the Kingdom of Sicily during the reign of Alfonso V of Aragon (1416–58), known as the Magnanimous. In particular, it discusses the operation of and the relationships between the two offices entrusted with the management of the kingdom’s accounts: the century-old magna curia rationum and the new office of the conservator maior regii patrimonii (established in 1414), modelled on the Castilian contaduría mayor de hacienda. This essay adopts the approach associated with the ‘archival turn’, to show that studying the accounting and bookkeeping practices, as well as their developments and innovations, is crucial to understand the operation of the Sicilian auditing system and its function in the broader political system of the Crown of Aragon. As a result of the perpetual state of conflict generated by the political agenda of Alfonso the Magnanimous in Italy and of his increasing war-funding demands, the Aragonese strategically exploited the new accounting and bookkeeping practice of the conservator to increase royal influence over the local financial apparatus. Relying on the exceptional amount of original accounting and financial records preserved at the State Archives of Palermo, this study is the first detailed examination of the auditing system and accounting practice of late-medieval Sicily. At the same time, the analysis shows that the operation and the transformations of the accounting system of a polity such as Sicily is fully intelligible only if examined in connection with the broader government of the political union of which that polity was a constituent member.
本文主要研究阿拉贡阿方索五世(1416 - 1458)统治时期西西里岛王国的会计和审计制度。特别地,它讨论了受托管理王国账户的两个办公室之间的运作和关系:百年历史的大图书馆和新办公室的主要regii patrimonii(成立于1414年),模仿卡斯蒂利亚contaduría市长庄园。本文采用与“档案转向”相关的方法,以表明研究会计和簿记实践,以及它们的发展和创新,对于理解西西里审计系统的运作及其在阿拉贡皇冠更广泛的政治体系中的作用至关重要。由于意大利阿方索大帝的政治议程和他不断增加的战争资金需求所产生的永久冲突状态,阿拉贡人战略性地利用了新的会计和簿记实践,以增加王室对当地财政机构的影响力。根据巴勒莫国家档案馆保存的大量原始会计和财务记录,这项研究是对中世纪晚期西西里岛的审计系统和会计实践的第一次详细检查。与此同时,分析表明,只有与该政体作为组成成员的政治联盟的更广泛的政府联系起来考察,才能完全理解像西西里这样的政体的会计系统的运作和转变。

Accounting for information infrastructure as medium for organisational change 将信息基础设施作为组织变革的媒介

ABSTRACT The last few decades have seen extensive changes in how organisations rely on Information Technology (IT) to account for key aspects of their operations. Understanding accounting as a process through which organisational reality is shaped, Information infrastructures (II) offers a means for analysing the role of IT in organisational change and how IT over time shapes how organisations account for what they are doing. We investigate changes to organisational II at the University of Sydney's Fisher Library from 1963 to 1975, following the introduction of manual automation systems, the use of mainframe computers, and the introduction of minicomputers into the fabric of the organisation. At Fisher Library, II changed two key functions for which the library is accountable for providing information: (1) what items does the library hold? and (2) where is a specific item when it is not on the shelf? We demonstrate that II becomes visible as a thing when it is of interest to organisational change, whereas over time, II sinks into the organisation, becoming a transparent medium that is nonetheless shaping organisational reality. This study uses Fritz Heider's theory of thing and medium to describe how over time IT changes an organisation's account for key aspects of its operation.
在过去的几十年里,组织如何依赖信息技术(IT)来解释其运营的关键方面已经发生了广泛的变化。将会计理解为组织现实形成的过程,信息基础设施(II)提供了一种分析IT在组织变革中的作用的方法,以及IT如何随着时间的推移塑造组织如何解释他们正在做的事情。我们调查了1963年至1975年悉尼大学费舍尔图书馆在引入人工自动化系统、使用大型计算机和将微型计算机引入组织结构之后,组织II的变化。在Fisher图书馆,我改变了图书馆负责提供信息的两个关键功能:(1)图书馆拥有什么项目?(2)当某一特定物品不在货架上时,它在哪里?我们证明,当组织变革对II感兴趣时,它就会成为可见的东西,而随着时间的推移,II会沉入组织中,成为一种透明的媒介,尽管如此,它仍在塑造组织的现实。本研究使用Fritz Heider的事物和媒介理论来描述随着时间的推移,IT如何改变组织对其运营的关键方面的解释。

Averages, indexes and national income: accounting for progress in colonial Australia 平均、指数和国民收入:澳大利亚殖民地的进步

ABSTRACT Economic statistics are now such an ingrained feature of everyday political discourse that they have recently become ripe as topics of historical scrutiny. This study contributes to this scholarship by shifting attention from what has been a largely American-Anglo discussion to the innovations of prominent Australian statists in the colonial and early Federation periods. In contrast to recent approaches that have treated economic statistics as emerging during the twentieth century as a discrete body of knowledge distinct from nineteenth-century ‘moral statistics’, this history is approached as an exercise in ‘accounting in history’. It highlights both patterns and discontinuities in governmental deliberations that facilitated statistical innovation, historicising and complicating the relationship between economics and statistics as domains of knowledge. By drawing attention to the tensions and overlaps of successive intellectual projects engaged by Australian government statisticians – described here in terms of transparency and control; the average man and colonial progress; the breadwinner and national wealth; the human unit and the social organism; and the consumer and ‘the economy’ – it develops new perspectives on why calculations of economic averages, indexes and national income emerged as devices of government. As major producers and consumers of contemporary economic statistics, such perspectives might provide fresh epistemological and interdisciplinary grounding for business and management scholars.
经济统计现在是日常政治话语中根深蒂固的特征,以至于它们最近已经成为历史审查的成熟话题。本研究通过将注意力从主要是美国-盎格鲁讨论转移到殖民地和早期联邦时期杰出的澳大利亚统计学家的创新,对这一学术贡献做出了贡献。与最近将经济统计视为20世纪出现的一种独立的知识体系,与19世纪的“道德统计”不同的方法相反,这段历史被视为“历史会计”的一种练习。它强调了政府审议的模式和不连续性,这些审议促进了统计创新,使经济学和统计学作为知识领域之间的关系历史化和复杂化。通过提请注意澳大利亚政府统计人员从事的连续智力项目的紧张和重叠-在透明度和控制方面进行描述;普通人与殖民地的进步;经济支柱和国家财富;人的单位和社会有机体;消费者和“经济”——它为解释为什么经济平均、指数和国民收入的计算成为政府的工具提供了新的视角。作为当代经济统计的主要生产者和消费者,这些观点可能为商业和管理学者提供新的认识论和跨学科基础。

ABSTRACT This study explores the history of lease accounting in Germany and examines how the industry managed to maintain the favourable off-balance sheet treatment, despite regulatory opposition. Drawing upon expert interviews as well as bibliographic analysis, this study shows that the established ties to state actors, combined with the purposeful involvement in the scientific discourse, enabled the leasing industry to fend off regulatory challenges in the areas of accounting, civil law, and supervision. Combining the concept of accounting constellations with elements of structuration theory, field theory, and socio-legal studies, the study demonstrates how academic literature affects accounting regulation.
本研究探讨了德国租赁会计的历史,并研究了该行业如何在监管反对的情况下保持有利的表外处理。根据专家访谈和文献分析,本研究表明,与国家行为体建立的联系,加上有目的地参与科学论述,使租赁行业能够抵御会计、民法和监管领域的监管挑战。将会计星座的概念与结构理论、场理论和社会法律研究的要素相结合,该研究展示了学术文献如何影响会计监管。

Risk shifting and the decline of defined benefit pension schemes in Australia 风险转移和澳大利亚固定收益养老金计划的衰落
IF 0.6 Q4 BUSINESS Pub Date : 2020-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/21552851.2020.1711527

ABSTRACT Recent studies of private pension provision have stressed the shedding of risk by employers entailed in the international trend away from defined benefit to defined contribution arrangements. In this critical literature, the widespread development towards defined contribution schemes is seen as an exclusively poor outcome for employees as financial risk is pushed onto the members of pension plans. These criticisms have essentially been ahistorical – they are not founded in close analyses of the reforms of the relevant pension arrangements. The first country to undertake a major change from defined benefit (or benefit promise) to defined contribution (or accumulation) plans was Australia. A closer historical examination of the shift suggests that the considerable reforms in occupational pension schemes of the 1980s and 1990s cannot validly be seen, overall, as a regressive outcome for Australian workers. Three fundamental features of the reform of white-collar superannuation emerge from a close historical analysis. First, considerable simplification transpired in what previously had been a largely opaque system of retirement benefits provision. Second, there was a fixing of employer costs in light of the adoption of accrual accounting and an increasing drain on taxpayer funds in public sector schemes. Third, clear evidence of improved financial performance occurred during the reforms.
最近对私人养老金提供的研究强调了雇主在国际趋势中从固定收益到固定缴款安排所带来的风险的减少。在这篇重要的文献中,对固定缴款计划的广泛发展被视为对雇员来说完全是一个糟糕的结果,因为财务风险被推到了养老金计划的成员身上。这些批评基本上是不符合历史的- -它们没有根据对有关养恤金安排改革的仔细分析。澳大利亚是第一个从固定收益(或福利承诺)计划转变为固定缴款(或累积)计划的国家。对这一转变进行更仔细的历史考察表明,总的来说,不能有效地将20世纪80年代和90年代职业养老金计划的重大改革视为澳大利亚工人的倒退结果。细致的历史分析揭示了白领养老金改革的三个基本特征。首先,以前基本上不透明的退休福利制度大为简化。其次,由于采用权责发生制会计,以及公共部门计划对纳税人资金的消耗不断增加,雇主成本得到了固定。第三,有明确证据表明,改革期间财务绩效有所改善。

Special issue: interdisciplinary historical studies 特刊:跨学科历史研究

The renaming of Accounting Business and Financial History to Accounting History Review in 2011 could, at face value, be taken as a narrowing of the journal’s focus toward accounting history. Rather than a restriction in focus, the editor saw it as an opportunity to encourage a connection between accounting history ‘with the intellectual interests of other disciplines and research domains’ (McWatters 2014, 1). It is this process of making connections across disciplines that we have endeavoured to encourage in this special issue. Both students and scholars of business face the task of recording, understanding, and explaining a rapidly changing world. We see the potential to draw upon perspectives and approaches beyond single disciplines to answer many research questions generated by business scholars. As McWatters (2017, 219) notes:
从表面上看,《会计业务与财务历史》在2011年更名为《会计历史评论》,可以看作是该杂志对会计历史的关注范围缩小了。编辑将其视为鼓励会计史“与其他学科和研究领域的知识兴趣”之间联系的机会(McWatters 2014, 1),而不是焦点的限制。我们在本期特刊中努力鼓励的正是这种跨学科联系的过程。商学专业的学生和学者都面临着记录、理解和解释一个快速变化的世界的任务。我们看到了利用超越单一学科的观点和方法来回答商业学者提出的许多研究问题的潜力。正如麦克沃特斯(2017,219)指出的那样:

ABSTRACT Historical scholarship on the advertising industry has largely focused on advertisements that it creates and, to a lesser degree, the agency's relationship with clients. This focus has meant that the finance department and its contribution to the agency’s operations have largely been ignored. This article seeks to address this omission by drawing attention to the work and contribution of the finance department in the advertising agency setting. It focuses on experiences of two trained accountants, who worked for George Patterson, one of Australia’s largest advertising agencies. Lincoln Farnsworth helped build George Patterson from the 1930s to the 1960s, while Russell McLay emerged as a key player in the agency’s subsequent expansion and internationalisation in the 1970s and 1980s. By using oral history testimony and other documentary materials, this article illustrates the growing impact of accounting on advertising agency practices and the advertising business, and highlights the contribution that accounting history offers to historians working in other fields.
广告行业的历史研究主要集中在它所创造的广告上,并且在较小程度上关注广告公司与客户的关系。这种关注意味着,财政部及其对该机构运作的贡献在很大程度上被忽视了。本文试图通过提请注意财务部门在广告代理机构设置中的工作和贡献来解决这一遗漏。这本书主要讲述了两位训练有素的会计师的经历,他们曾在澳大利亚最大的广告公司之一George Patterson工作。林肯·法恩斯沃斯在20世纪30年代至60年代帮助建立了乔治·帕特森,而拉塞尔·麦克雷在20世纪70年代和80年代在该机构随后的扩张和国际化中发挥了关键作用。本文通过使用口述历史证言和其他文献资料,说明会计对广告代理实践和广告业务日益增长的影响,并强调会计史对从事其他领域工作的历史学家的贡献。
