Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Auditing, 1916 A young man came to New York with the intention of entering the profession of accountancy. He was energetic and ambitious; had a good general education and some experience in accounting work. He obtained employment with a firm of certified public accountants. The usual grind of footing and checking followed for a while; always under the direction of the man in charge of the engagement. Finally came the long sought chance to go out on an engagement alone. He received no instructions; in fact he never had received any instructions about how the work should be done. What he had learned had been learned by observation. He had been afraid to ask ques tions for fear such procedure would create the suspicion that he did not know as much about his work as he should. For the same reason when sent on the engagement alone he did not ask for working papers and reports which would serve as guides. The result of his work almost proved disastrous. Conscientious and careful as the work had been the report, although prepared with great pains, was not in the form used by the firm. When it was reviewed by the report department it was not only torn to pieces and made over but the accountant was held up to ridi cule before a number of persons who happened to be in the room. This unfortunate experience would have broken the spirit of some men. In this case it only served to lash the subject into a frenzied determination to succeed in the field of endeavor which he had chosen. How he toiled far into the night for several years while carrying on his daily work, at the same time getting a technical education, as well as some of his many and varied experiences, might make an interesting story but they have no place here. Some of the things he was never able to find in books and about which he was too proud to ask are set forth in this book. It is dedicated to a man who represents all that is fine and noble in a professional man; one who cannot help but be an inspiration to all who come in contact with him.

Book Description
Excerpt from Auditing: Theory and Practice There is a demand for a practical book on auditing which up to this time has not been met. If my twenty-four years of continuous experience in professional accountancy work is a sufficient practical training, I trust I have established a prima facie excuse for the presentation of this book, which contains more of practice than of theory. Auditing, in its broadest sense, is the most important branch of accountancy. During the early years of my clerkship in the office of Mr. John Heins, of Philadelphia (then President of the American Association of Public Accountants), and later, while acting as an instructor in the School of Accounts and Finance of the University of Pennsylvania, I strongly felt the need of a dependable textbook on the subject. My attention was all the more directed to the paucity of books on auditing and on other accounting and cognate subjects by contrast with the full and comprehensive literature of the legal profession which I had found of such great assistance in my studies preparatory to admission to the bar.

Book Description
Excerpt from Classified C. P. A. Problems and Solutions 1915 This book has been prepared for the purpose of providing applicants for the degree of Certified Public Accountant, with the most important problems relating to accounting and auditing selected from all the available C. P. A. examination questions given in the year 1915 in the various states, together with complete answers and solutions to the same. Space has not permitted the inclusion of questions on commercial law. The author has selected those questions that seemed to be most representative and most useful to the student, and has classified these according to their subjects. Because of the necessity of selecting questions which are representative, it has not been possible to take these questions in even approximately the same numbers from each state. Wherever essentially the same subject has been brought out in the different state examinations, the questions have been grouped and one answer given for all. Where it has been possible, answers to questions have been quoted from the accepted authorities on accounting. Too frequently in the presentation of C. P. A. accounting problems, questions involving technical points and catches have been preferred, and the more important questions involving system and procedure have been omitted. The catches and the technical questions have not been ignored in the present volume, but most of the problems given are those which cover general matters of system and procedure. In a few cases lengthy and somewhat involved problems concerning the designing of accounting systems and the necessary forms therefor have been included.
