Research Abstract |
This study focus on the role of accounting records on the managerial decisions, using actual records and surrounding historical materials. We used the historical materials of Kanematsu before the WW II, which was engaged in the trading business. Kanematsu had a very elaborate accounting procedure, submitting all accounting records and vouchers to main office in Kobe and prepared trial balances every ten days. Though that procedure was seemed complicated, Kanematsu continued it because it was a part of reason why Kanematsu had survived the economic turbulence just after the WW I and the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. Historical accounting records also made it clear that the profitability of the main import, wool, to large manufacturing companies was declining and Kanematsu took a policy to import wool on its own risk and that policy was very successful.
