Establishing a historical account explaining financial reporting’s current form, Corporate Reporting examines the complete annual reports from 1902 to 2006 of The United States Steel Corporation – the first United States’ company to attain the billion-dollar capitalization in U.S. markets.
Studies in the Development of Accounting Thought informs readers of the historical foundations on which the profession is based, the historical antecedents of today’s accounting institutions, the historical impact of accounting, as well as exploring the lives and works of pre-eminent individuals in the profession’s history. The series focuses on bringing the past into today and using it to point towards the future. Topics featured include finding and utilizing archival materials; the growing importance of the Internet in historical research; the issues involved in writing to historical paradigms; and the pivotal influence and immediacy of oral history.
