The Development of the American Public Accounting Profession [EPUB ebook] 
Scottish Chartered Accountants and the Early American Public Accountancy Profession

The book presents a series of researched biographies of professional accountants who immigrated to the United States and developed their careers there in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. 

This volume is a tribute to the efforts of a relatively small group of Scots who helped to establish and nurture American public accountancy at a time when demand for its services greatly exceeded the ability of native-born accountants to provide them.
