Professional Accounting and Audit in Australia, 1880-1900 (Routledge New Works in Accounting History)

Australian literature on professional accounting and audit begins in 1880. The two decades to 1900 were a crucial period in Australian history, the boom years of the 1880s being followed by the severe recession of the 1890s and the federation of the Australian. There were no professional accounting journals but publication took place in banking and insurance magazines, commercial newspapers and general newspapers. This book reprints 65 articles from this turbulent period and hugely productive period in Australian Accounting and Auditing practices.
