The Accounting Review Vol. 30 No. 2 1955

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.

Frank P. Smith

Abstract

The article presents the report of the president of the American Accounting Association for the year closing December 31, 1954. According to the report, The Accounting Review periodical has increased gradually in size during the past five years to about 800 pages annually. Manuscripts have been coming in nicely this past year. Good progress has been made during the past year on the research project, headed by Professor Ralph C. Jones of Yale University, and concerned with the effects of price level changes on financial statements. The growing importance of the association, and the increasing importance placed on accounting education by associations of practitioners, are attested to by the many requests for official representations at meetings of other accounting organizations, both in the United States and abroad. Plans were initiated in 1953 for the Association of University Teachers of Accounting in England and the American Accounting Association to sponsor jointly the publication of a volume of readings in the history of accounting.
