Working Paper Series Carey's "Heritage" Leads Series
WORKING PAPERS INAUGURATED
In order to provide a vehicle for the exchange of ideas among members of The Academy, a Working Paper Series has been inaugurated, with the first five numbers being:
1. "The CPA's Professional Heritage, Part I," by John L. Carey.
2. "The Accounts of Ancient Rome," by Kenneth S. Most.
3. "The Audit of Historical Records as a Learning Device in Studying the Environment and Socio-Economic Influences on Accounting," by Rich-ard H. Homburger.
4. "Survey of the Development of Au-diting in Germany," by Rosa-Eliza-beth Gassmann.
5. "The CPA's Professional Heritage, Part II," by John L. Carey.
It is believed that this method of pro-moting the exposure of historical re-search will assist in developing new work, while also providing feedback on existing materials and serving as a means of providing both new and estab-lished writers with access to an audi-ence both interested and qualified to comment on the subject matter.
Manuscripts submitted for the series should conform to the format described in The Accounting Review, April, 1973, pp. 442-3, with footnotes at the end of the paper. All material should be in fi-nal form suitable for reproduction, as the working paper editor will not rework manuscripts. While any length is ac-ceptable, manuscripts of from eight to thirty pages are deemed to be most manageable in terms of reproduction equipment to be used.
The policy with regard to this series is decidedly liberal, intending to create an atmosphere which will stimulate re-search, writing and exposure of ideas. Members are requested to submit only those papers which represent their best effort. Further, it is expected that the
exposure of such research among fel-lows of The Academy will be character-ized by a respect for the rights of those parties presenting the paper, without prejudice to subsequent publication of unique ideas.
Each entry will be distributed to mem-bers on a request basis. Entries and requests should be addressed to The Academy, Box 6999, University, AL 35486. Members are entitled to a com-plimentary copy of each working paper. Requests for multiple copies may be subject to a charge for printing and postage. Non-members may obtain any paper by sending $1 per copy (printing and postage) along with their request, to The Academy offices.
Manuscripts submitted by non-mem-bers of The Academy should be spon-sored by an Academy member and will be entered in the series as resources permit. Entries will be placed in the series on a first-come, first-serve basis.
