IS ACCOUNTING HISTORY
CRITICAL?
A CPE session will be held on Wednes­day

The session will be designed to enable
participants to discuss and evaluate
historical methodology and use of
historical data in contemporary accounting
research. Academy members should look
for the particulars about the CPE session
in the next American Accounting Associa­tion
Newsletter. A letter will be sent to

HISTORY OF THE ACCOUNTING
PRESENT
An Accounting, Organizations and
Society Conference, cosponsored by the
Academy of Accounting Historians and
the University of North Texas, will be held
at the Sheraton Center in Denton, Texas
on November 15-17, 1990. The con­ference
will be designed to maximize par­ticipation
of those in attendance. One ob­jective
of the conference will be to en­courage
debate and interaction among
people with divergent approaches to
historical research. Notice of the con­ference
and a list of papers will be sent
to all Academy members in June.
