The Accounting Postulates and Principles Controversy of the 1960s Summary

The Accounting Postulates and Principles Controversy of the 1960s by Stephen A. Zeff

This book, first published in 1982, gathers together a series of articles and editorials written in response to the Accounting Research Program of the early 1960s. Accounting Research Study No. 1 and No. 3 sprang from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' desire to keep up with 'economic and social changes which affect accounting' and the research studies into 'postulates' and 'principles' proved to be controversial. These articles analyse the findings and provide vital historical insight into the profession of the time, and its further development.
