Company accounting

Abstract

I suspect that some of you will think it a trifle odd that I should seek to impose upon a learned society a dissertation on company accounting, and perhaps I should clear my conscience by confessing to some doubts when I first came to seriously contemplate its preparation. Now that I have worked through to the end of my thesis I firmly believe that no one should' question the importance of the subject matter. Company accounts which disclose clear reports of stewardship have beneficial social implications. Company accounts designed as constitutional portrayals of income generation and wealth accumulation, are sources of vital statistical information about economic activity over a large part of the enterprise sector of a national economy.
