Abstract
All accounting historians know that the Ancient Mesopotamian were the first bookkeepers, but little attention has been paid to more recent history. In 1915-1917, the colorful character of Harry St. John Bridger Philby played a significant part in the importation of British approaches to accounting in the southern part of Mesopotamia, which at that time began to adopt the Arab name for the Country, Allraq.
