Abstract

The Academy held its annual research conference on "U.S. Accounting History: 1965-1990," an Accounting Hall of Fame symposium co-sponsored with The Ohio State University (where the Hall is located) on November 20-21, 1992. The conference consisted of three panel discussions; each one on U.S. accounting history from a different perspective: academic, industrial, and professional. The distinguished panelists who helped create much of this history included ten Accounting Hall of Fame members: Robert Anthony (Harvard University); Norton Bedford (University of Illinois); Sidney Davidson (University of Chicago); Philip DeFliese (Columbia University and Coopers & Lybrand); Yuji Ijiri (Carnegie-Mellon University); Charles T. Horngren (Stanford University); Robert K. Mautz (Universities of Illinois and Michigan); Herbert E. Miller (Michigan State University and University of Georgia); Maurice Moonitz (University of California); and David Solomons (London School of Economics and the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania), the 1992 Hall inductee. Other panelists included the current CFO's of five large corporations: Eugene Flegm (General Motors); Gaylen Larson (Household International); Michael Sullivan (Sun Oil); Christopher Steffen (Honeywell); and John Quindlen (DuPont). Panelists from the profession included leaders of five of the "Big Six" firms: J. Michael Cook (Deloitte & Touche); Robert Elliott (KPMG Peat Marwick); Duane Kullberg (Arthur Andersen & Co.); Raymond Lauver (Price Waterhouse); and Philip DeFliese (Coopers and Lybrand). Ray Groves (Ernst & Young), scheduled to participate, was unable to attend. Moderators for the sessions were Robert K. Mautz, Steve Zeff (Rice University), and James Don Edwards (University of Georgia). Special guests at the conference included Dennis Beresford (Chairman, FASB).
