The Evolution of Audit Thought and Practice (Paperback): T.A. Lee The Evolution of Audit Thought and Practice (Paperback)
T.A. Lee
R1,078 Discovery Miles 10 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book, first published in 1988, analyses the history of auditing with as much objectivity as possible. These chapters reveal the importance of auditing in society generally and business activity particularly. The character of the auditor is examined, and their part in history as their role developed from an amateur status to a professional one. The development of the accounting profession is a significant part of the history of auditing.

The Accounting Postulates and Principles Controversy of the 1960s (Paperback): Stephen A Zeff The Accounting Postulates and Principles Controversy of the 1960s (Paperback)
Stephen A Zeff
R1,093 Discovery Miles 10 930 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book, first published in 1982, gathers together a series of articles and editorials written in response to the Accounting Research Program of the early 1960s. Accounting Research Study No. 1 and No. 3 sprang from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' desire to keep up with 'economic and social changes which affect accounting' and the research studies into 'postulates' and 'principles' proved to be controversial. These articles analyse the findings and provide vital historical insight into the profession of the time, and its further development.

Contributions of Limperg and Schmidt to the Replacement Cost Debate in the 1920s (Paperback): Frank L Clarke, Graeme W. Dean Contributions of Limperg and Schmidt to the Replacement Cost Debate in the 1920s (Paperback)
Frank L Clarke, Graeme W. Dean
R1,080 Discovery Miles 10 800 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book, first published in 1990, examines the works of Theodore Limberg and Fritz Schmidt and their contribution to the development of the case for replacement price valuations. It analyses which of Limberg's and Schmidt's contributions was the most prominent and whether either was the genesis of an evolutionary development of replacement price valuations. This analysis is apposite. History indicates we will experience further periods of inflation and accompanying debate on the serviceability of accounting proposals to incorporate the financial effects of price and price-level changes.

Anne Loft
R1,065 Discovery Miles 10 650 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Underlying this book, first published in 1988, is the belief that it is insightful to examine accounting not as merely a technical process, nor as a technical process with social and political consequences, but as an activity which is both social and political in itself. One way of illuminating the social nature of accounting is through studying its cultural variations, for although accounting is a feature of modern industrial society the extent of its use varies across cultures. This book examines the history of accounting and explores the complicated relationship between accounting and society.
