XVIII NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Milan, December 3-4, 2026
University of Milan-Bicocca

Evolution of Accounting and Accountability Practices in
Enterprises, Banks, and Public & Private Entities

Call for papers

The Italian Society of Accounting History (Società Italiana di Storia della Ragioneria – SISR) invites scholars, researchers, and doctoral students to submit papers for its forthcoming Conference entitled “Evolution of Accounting and Accountability Practices in Enterprises, Banks, and Public & Private Entities.”

The conference aims to promote scholarly discussion on the historical evolution of accounting and accountability practices across different organizational settings. Accounting systems are examined not merely as technical tools, but as social and institutional practices embedded in specific historical, economic, political, and cultural contexts.

Particular attention is devoted to enterprises, banking and financial institutions, and public and private entities, highlighting how accounting and accountability practices have contributed to governance, control, transparency, and legitimacy over time.

Topics of Interest

In line with these considerations, the Conference aims to promote, through the interpretative tools typical of Accounting, Business, and Financial History, interaction and discussion among scholars on numerous research areas related to the Conference theme. As examples, but not exhaustively, the following are highlighted:

Historical Development of Accounting Practices

• Origins and evolution of bookkeeping systems and financial reporting practices
• Historical case studies from enterprises, banking institutions, and governmental entities
• Development and diffusion of cost accounting, budgeting, and management control systems

Accountability and Audit in Historical Perspective

• Changes in accountability concepts and practices in public administration and private enterprise
• Accountability mechanisms in colonial, post-colonial, and transitional economies
• Historical role of auditing, inspection, and oversight institutions

Banking, Finance, and Regulation

• Evolution of accounting and financial disclosure in banks and financial intermediaries
• Regulatory and institutional transformations and their impact on accounting practices
• Financial crises, scandals, and the development of accountability and control frameworks

Technology and Innovation in Accounting

• Impact of mechanization, information technologies, and digitalization on accounting practices
• Use of archival accounting records and innovative digital tools in historical research

Social, Political, and Cultural Dimensions of Accounting

• Accounting as a tool of governance, power, control, and social influence
• Cross-cultural and international comparisons of accounting traditions
• Historical development of the accounting profession, including education, professionalization, and ethics

Methodologies in Accounting History

• Advances in archival research methods and source interpretation
• Oral history, narrative analysis, and historiographical approaches
• Interdisciplinary perspectives integrating sociology, economics, law, anthropology, and related fields
