Description:
Memorial Articles for 20th Century American Accounting Leaders highlights the careers and contributions to accounting practice, the accounting profession, and the accounting literature of leading American figures in the 20th century. This book is useful in providing students and young researchers with a rich source of intelligence on the leaders who have established norms of practice, advanced the profession, and set the terms of debate in the literature - leaders who are cited and even quoted but who are known mostly as names without a full-bodied treatment of their backgrounds and broader roles in shaping the accounting literature.
