Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This purpose is to conduct a comparative analysis of Bookkeeping Theory and Double Bookkeeping in Accounting Practice in British at 17th-19th Century.Sugita(Principal Investigator) considered the accounting practice, Watanabe(Co-Investigator) reviewed many bookkeeping texts.In particular, Sugita examined the accounting about export European Commodities of British East India Company from the second half of the 17th to the first half of the 18th century, and the relationship between Stock per Computation(1757, 1763) and the double entry bookkeeping of the headquarter at London. In this regard, it seems that Sugita could present new findings on accounting history of EIC. Watanabe argued that against the general interpretation that it evolved from simple bookkeeping to double-entry bookkeeping, from historical bookkeeping from the 17th to 19th centuries, it was historically opposite. Watanabe published papers etc. as a series of research results, and reported at seminar.
