Abstract
Professor Russell Mathews, one of pillars of accounting education in Australia, passed away on March 1, 2000, after a long illness, at the age of 79 years. When the predecessor of the Accounting Association of Australia and New Zealand was formed in the early sixties, there were three appointments to chair of Accounting in Australia: Raymond Chambers at Sydney, Louis Goldberg at Melbourne and Professor Russell Mathews at Adelaide. These three made the first vigorous submission to the Australia Federal Government on behalf of accounting education in Australian universities. Professor Mathews in 1990-91 chaired the major enquiry into accounting education for the Australia Government. The death of Russell Mathews is truly worth noting in terms of his contributions not only to accounting theory, but also to all matters to do with taxation and fiscal federalism.
