Download or read book A White Collar Profession written by Theresa A. Hammond and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-01-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the major professions, certified public accountancy has the most severe underrepresentation of African Americans: less than 1 percent of CPAs are black. Theresa Hammond explores the history behind this statistic and chronicles the courage and determination of African Americans who sought to enter the field. In the process, she expands our understanding of the links between race, education, and economics. Drawing on interviews with pioneering black CPAs, among other sources, Hammond sets the stories of black CPAs against the backdrop of the rise of accountancy as a profession, the particular challenges that African Americans trying to enter the field faced, and the strategies that enabled some blacks to become CPAs. Prior to the 1960s, few white-owned accounting firms employed African Americans. Only through nationwide networks established by the first black CPAs did more African Americans gain the requisite professional experience. The civil rights era saw some progress in integrating the field, and black colleges responded by expanding their programs in business and accounting. In the 1980s, however, the backlash against affirmative action heralded the decline of African American participation in accountancy and paved the way for the astonishing lack of diversity that characterizes the field today.

Book excerpt: This study traces the development of the American public accounting profession from 1927 to 1962. Over the course of these thirty-five years, accounting evolved from an insular, divided group whose professional competence and independence was doubted, even by its own members, to one that spoke with one united national voice, proudly asserted its ability to take on additional responsibilities, and had cemented an essential place in the American economy. The study makes use of archival sources, included large portions of the papers of George O. May, the doyen of the old Wall Street elite whose correspondence into the 1950's reflects the profession's development, and provides the first study of the accounting profession's response to the union corruption scandals. I look at the major events that caused this evolution, including the writings of William Z. Ripley, the New Deal and the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the McKesson-Robbins scandal, the Second World War, the postwar economic expansion, and the union corruption scandals. I show how these events forced the profession to accept the responsibilities American society demanded of it, and how the leadership of the profession passed from a Wall Street-centered elite that styled itself after a British ideal of the professional as a disinterested, independent gentleman who did not promote himself and whose integrity and expertise did not require rigid rules of conduct, to a new generation that embraced a more modern ideal of the professional, one who followed strict rules of conduct and educational requirements, and who embraced a broader vision of public accountancy's responsibilities to American society, as evidenced by the prominent public role the American Institute of CPA's took when Congress looked to impose stricter regulations on trade unions and pensions in the wake of the union corruption scandals of the late 1950's. Finally, I evaluate the consequences of this evolution, consequences that I believe persisted into the twenty-first century with the debate over non-audit services in the wake of the Enron scandal.

Download or read book Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants written by James A. Tinsley and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public accounting in America is only one hundred years old, but it would be difficult to imagine modern business functioning without the young profession. Certified public accountants perform a vital function as internal or external advisors to businesses both large and small. CPAs assist in all areas of operations and management as well as in financial matters. The Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants, with more than eighteen thousand members, is the third largest statewide organization of accountants in the nation. Since 1915 it has molded professional attitudes, skills, and standards for its members. Accountancy in Texas is a composite of regulation and volunteerism. The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, TSCPA, and the Society’s chapters have long cooperated to serve the public interest and to strengthen the accounting profession. These groups work together to enforce ethical behavior, inform the public, and provide a forum for the exchange of information. In addition, the Society supports the formal study of accounting at Texas colleges and universities to encourage potential CPAs. TSCPA also pursues an aggressive program of continuing professional education to keep current CPAs up-to-date with changing business environments. Emerging issues frequently offer the Society opportunities to explore new directions in this rapidly growing field. This book revises and updates the original 1962 edition of the Society’s history. It tells the story of the CPAs who have left their personal imprints on this dynamic profession in Texas and the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1988, analyses the history of auditing with as much objectivity as possible. These chapters reveal the importance of auditing in society generally and business activity particularly. The character of the auditor is examined, and their part in history as their role developed from an amateur status to a professional one. The development of the accounting profession is a significant part of the history of auditing. The emerging professional bodies assumed a societal role and by doing so, the audit function changed in terms of its aims and practices, and became a matter of public as well as private concern.
