The Development of Modern Financial Reporting Practices among American Manufacturing Corporations

David F. Hawkins

Business History Review, 1963, vol. 37, issue 3, 135-168

Abstract: From nineteenth-century traditions of corporate secrecy, American manufacturers have moved slowly toward more public and credible financial disclosure practices. Professor Hawkins examines the variety of pressures from the business community, the accounting profession, the government, and the public which has impelled this movement and governed its direction and tempo.
