Notes
1 I would like to let you know that the possible creation of an accounting history section within the European Accounting Association is underway […] taking into account that the Academy of Accounting Historians shows a natural bias in its research interests, which are inclined towards topics of the history of accounting related to the English language, as well as the contemporary era, while European interests have a broader scope and also consider important themes relating to much earlier times. I proceeded as such, although I think that it was more practical and feasible to use the existing infrastructure of the European Accounting Association. The president of the Association also felt that way and has taken up the matter with great interest. Basil S. Yamey, Ernest Stevelinck and Pierre Jouanique have also approved and joined the initiative. I’ll keep you posted on the outcome of the idea.
