Comment on Kaplan Stephen A. Zeff, Rice University
Original Aim of Accounting Horizons • 1984-85 AAA Publications Committee: “to provide our members and professional colleagues with an opportunity to expand their accounting horizons and develop interfaces on accounting issues that can contribute to better research, teaching and practice.” • Inaugural editor Robert Mautz’s list of the kinds of manuscripts he invited for editorial consideration (1987): • Analyses of accounting issues • Descriptive reports of technical proposals and innovative or otherwise interesting practices
Evaluations of applied research findings • Content reviews of accounting and auditing standards • Case studies having significant practical applications • Proposals for improvements and extensions of practice • Position papers on debates of the day • Evaluations of legal developments • Interpretations of hypothesis testing/statistically oriented research, to the extent these have implications for present or future practice
