Key sources for accounting historians are published reports on censuses of population and the surviving enumeration books on which they were based. The increasing availability of electronic versions of census enumeration books (CEB) for Canada, the UK, and the US offers opportunities for better understanding the history of occupations concerned with the performance of accounting functions. However, census reports and original census documents must be interpreted critically. A study reports on a study of accountants appearing in the transcribed version of the British CEBs for 1881. It is shown how the published census underreported the number of accountants in Britain and suggests that there are potential inconsistencies in the manner in which accountants were counted. While accounting h...

This paper takes its inspiration from Voth's work on Time and Work in England, 1750-1830, which argues that the British industrial revolution led to greater production levels not because of an increase in the productivity of labor but because of the larger amount of hours worked per week. This change led to a decrease of free time in favor of worked time. If this was the case, one might argue, accounting played a marginal role either in increasing the efficiency of the work force, or in disciplining the shop floor to guarantee control of the labor process. This paper argues that if accounting is to gain a crucial position in the history of economies and societies "time" needs to be expressly posited on the agenda of accounting historians for, at the moment, it seems that the link betwee...

Changes in auditing techniques that have taken place in Britain since the Victorian era, an area of study hitherto neglected by accounting historians, are discussed and detailed. In so doing, it is hoped that an increasing knowledge of past practices will put the current processes into context. The source material for the paper includes new evidence from a program of oral history and postal questionnaires, together with more traditional sources such as the trade journals and textbooks. The so-called bookkeeping audit of vouching and checking postings and castings, and with the auditor also doing a fair proportion of the client's accounting, was typical down to the 1960s. Major changes then took place, including a decline in accounting work, an increased focus on the balance sheet, and a...

Dans Ie cadre d'une simulation de construction de maisons en carton dans un village, des étudiants (N = 69) ont participé à trois scénarios : en construisant les maisons ils observaient soit la préparation d'une tasse de thé, soit la fabrication d'une bombe, ou ils n'avaient rien à observer. Soumis au détecteur de mensonge à l'aide d'un test psychophysiologique Group Concealed Information Test (GCIT), les étudiants devaient nier ce qu'ils ont vu en construisant les maisons, le plan de la résistance de la peau et des battements de coeur analysés à l'aide des analyses multivariées des variances, F(8, 106) = 4.08, et les analyses des variances ont démontré que le groupe qui a observé la préparation du thé ont répondu aux questions reliées au thé, avaient les réactions suivantes : la résist...

A study addresses the schedule of cost of goods manufactured and the income statement of Lyman Mills (LM) for the year 1917. They were prepared by CPAs at the request of LM, based on the books of account and its accounting system dating from the 1850s. This system was described, but not perfectly enough, in Johnson and Kaplan's Relevance Lost [1987]. This study compares the schedule of cost of goods manufactured and income statement prepared by CPAs with the accounts in LM's ledger summarizing its costs and performance. It leads to the conclusion that the traditional accounting system of LM was a complete accounting system different from but comparable to today's accounting systems.
