This book presents the views of accounting educators, accounting education policy-makers, and accounting practitioners from across the world on the challenging topic of liberalising the accounting curriculum within university education. Accounting is a relatively new subject within universities and has been absorbed into a high level of education without any real attempt to do so within the traditional ethos of a liberal arts education.In this book, the logic of teaching using the liberal arts is described and contrasted with the practical vocational training approach of teaching which has formed the foundation of accountancy courses for many years. A proposal to change this established practice, by integrating the liberal arts into the university accounting curriculum, is followed by a series of short chapters which address the relevance, validity and worthiness of the proposed approach. Comments and counter-arguments are then discussed before further chapters illustrate how the proposed change may be achieved in a variety of different contexts – ranging from that of the global financial crisis (which began in 2008) to the inclusion of ethics and sustainability within the accounting curriculum.This book will aid those teaching accounting in universities to improve the design of their accounting degree programmes by moving away from an excessive emphasis on technical skills towards a broader consideration of a liberal contextualisation of the accounting curriculum. This book was originally published as a special issue of Accounting Education: an international journal.

Current evidence points to management accountants using traditional software (such as spreadsheets) for budgeting, ABC, balanced scorecards and other performance management techniques independent of, rather than integrated with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems. While there has been some limited research on the effects of ERP systems on management accountants, this report provides a comprehensive analysis of the consequences of implementation of ERP systems for management accountants.

Lodovico Flori’s Treatise on Household Accounting for the Jesuit Order (1636)

A Critical Translation

This is the first critical translation into English of Fr. Lodovico Flori’s accounting manual, published in 1636. Originally written in Sicilian-infused Italian for administrators within the houses and colleges of the Jesuit Order, it is widely considered to be an outstanding example of its type published before 1800. Its focus is the records of all transactions, the double entry method of bookkeeping adopted, and the organization of the accounting system. Its goal was to best serve the needs of the institutions of the Jesuit Order, while complying with the tenets, mores, and rules of the Order. It represents a landmark in the use of accounting technology in administration and management. Its use of accounting to serve administrative needs predicted how income and wealth are calculated today, predating commercial practice by over a hundred years.

Critical History Of Double Entry Accounting 1150-1800

The English language accounting history of double entry accounting before 1800 has reached an impasse. The doors to its reawakening are fiercely guarded by combination locks powered by confirmation bias and adherence to a priori wisdom requiring vast amounts of supportive scholarship to make public the smallest contribution to what is known and understood of the first 600 years of its use. To open those doors, a foundation is needed upon which scholarship can begin anew — a framework of reference that can be used to justify the validity and relevance of scholarship and discovery in this field. That is the purpose and role of this book.It does not focus on the technical. It focuses on the environment and context of use of the method, and its function. It considers 'why' and consequences. It asks who, when, where, and what, along with 'how'. It adopts the perspective that the reason for the bookkeeping drove how it was adopted, not the availability of parchment or paper, nor the emergence of the concept of the technology — the book — in which it was recorded. Rather its use was driven by a need of the person who wrote the record, or by the needs of those who wished a record to be kept.A critical traditional historical method is adopted. Explanations are sought and identified utilising knowledge of the environment and context of practice that, to this point, rarely if ever feature in the antiquarian historiography this book ideally seeks to replace. The approach adopted is multi-disciplinary and the sources used are multi-disciplinary and multi-lingual. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in accounting's past.
