  • 1913 from the Very Beginning of the Firm, Arthur Andersen Insists That All
    1913 From the very beginning of the firm, Arthur Andersen insists that all his personnel get the “the facts behind the figures,” thus establishing the concept of a business-oriented audit. The Federal Reserve banking system is created. The 16th Amendment is ratified permitting federal income tax. 1914 The Federal Trade Commission and General Accounting Office are created. The Federal Reserve requires CPA certification of any financial statements submitted in support of applications for loans on commercial paper by member banks. 1915 Arthur Andersen takes the position that a Great Lakes steamship company had to reflect in its balance sheet the economic impact of a major post-year-end event—that is, the loss of a freighter in a storm. This was the first case of an auditor demanding disclosure of an event that occurred after year-end but before the issuance of the auditor’s report. 1916 The firm creates a formal recruitment program for college graduates. The American Association of Public Accountants (founded in 1887) changes its name to the American Institute of Accountants (AIA). 1917 The firm takes the lead in promoting tax work for industries and corporations and introduces a new concept of accounting for construction costs of public utilities, differentiating between overhead costs and direct costs. The first AIA examination is given. The Revenue Act of 1917 imposed the first excess profits tax. 1919 The first chapter of Beta Alpha Psi is established at the University of Illinois. 1921 The firm establishes a government liaison office in Washington, D.C. The American Society of Certified Public Accountants is founded in Washington.

  • Yuji Ijiri's Thoughts As a Possible Solution for the Recent Revolutions In
    Journal of Research in International Business and Management (ISSN: 2251-0028) Vol. 3(2) pp. 38-52, February, 2013 Available online @http://www.interesjournals.org/JRIBM Copyright ©2013 International Research Journals Review Yuji Ijiri’s thoughts as a possible solution for the recent revolutions in accounting standards- A focus on accounting measurements Pei-Gin Hsieh Assistant Professor; Department of Accounting and Information Technology, National Chung Cheng University E-mail: [email protected]; Tel: +011-886-5-2720411 Abstract This paper examines whether Yuji Ijiri’s thoughts can serve as solutions to the current debates on accounting measurements. Countries around the world are adopting International Financial Reporting Standards. However, recent accounting and financial scandals show that fair value may not be the best measure for companies. The researcher compares and analyzes the differences between Ijiri’s thoughts and major concepts provided in the IASB/FASB Conceptual Framework, IAS 1, and fair value accounting standards. The investigator shows that Ijiri’s (1989) dynamic structure of accounting measurements includes both faithfully represented and relevant information. Ijiri and his co-authors in Demski et al. (2009) also suggest applying topology to provide objective accounting measurements and standards. Therefore, Ijiri’s thoughts are possible solutions to the current debates on adopting fair value accounting. Keywords: Accounting measurement, fair value, historical cost, Yuji Ijiri. INTRODUCTION I suggest Yuji Ijiri’s thoughts as an alternative to the to historical cost accounting and matching principle, which current trend of adopting fair value accounting. And in provided an impetus to using the income statement as the this paper, I provide comparisons between Ijiri’s thoughts primary financial statement.

Rutherford, FCA The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants It is indeed an immense honour for me to be here today, to have been given the opportunity to recognize the outstanding contribution of Ross Skinner to the accounting world and our community and to be amongst such an august body. Even today, I’m sure Ross does not realize the significant impact he has had on the accounting profession and the busi- ness community. His first major accounting book “Accounting Principles: A Canadian Viewpoint”, published in 1972, was highly influential in shaping accounting frameworks and pro- viding substantial guidance to accountants, lawyers, educators and judges.
