Accountants in Poland have recently had the opportunity to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the Accounting Act. The act was passed by the Polish Parliament in 1994. 500 years earlier, a treaty on double-entry accounting system was published by Pacioli. The publishing of Tractatus XI. Particularis de computis et scripturis was a momentous event marking the beginning of a new field of economics. Double-entry accounting was in use since Cotrugli introduce it some thirty years before Pacioli published his work. Recently, in accounting as well as in economics, emphasis has been put on ethics, moral values, and professional attitudes. It is worth considering whether, or to what extent, these were present in the early works of accountancy from 550 years ago and how accountants approached these matters at the beginning of the written history of accounting. This article presents the main ideas included in the guidelines set by Pacioli and Cotrugli regarding double-entry systems and investigates if ethical guidelines were present there. It turns out that the author of an essential work in the history of accounting, as well as his predecessor, devoted much attention to the moral attitude of the merchant, their appropriate behaviour, their attitude towards customers, and their colleagues and competitors.

Accountants recently had the opportunity to celebrate 20 years of existence in Poland the regulating of accounting. The act was adopted by parliament in 1994. 500 years before the treaty about double accounting was reprinted by Pacioli. The edition of Tractatus XI. Particularis de computis et scripturis was an (epic) epoch-making event designating the beginning of a new field of economic sciences. The idea of the double accounting was known before, not only because of Pacioli, but also through Cotruglio, who described it 36 years earlier. Recently in accounting, as well as in the broadly understood economy, there is a particular emphasis put on ethics, moral values and professional attitudes. It is worth considering whether and on what scale they were present in the early works of Accountancy 550 years ago, how their representatives approached the subjects the beginning of a written history of accounting. The article presents the main ideas included in the guidelines Pacioli and Cotruglio regarding double accounting, and identifies if ethical guidelines were presents among others guidelines. It turns out that the author of the essential work in the history of accounting, as well as its predecessor, devoted much attention to the moral attitude of the merchant, his appropriate behavior, attitude towards customers and other people, with whom he has a business relationship.

The article presents the history and premises of revolts of accounting and basic rules of double-entry bookkeeping system, which is international, so is the same both in Poland and Spain. The comparative analysis verifies, the existence of many similarities and only a few differences between Polish and Spanish annual accounts. Differences in both countries between a structure of balance sheet and income statement are of a minor character. There are different economic conditions for firms in both countries which can prepare the abbreviated format for annual accounts. The analysis of documents shows that Spanish General Accounting Plan is much more precise (359 pages) then Polish Act of Accounting (137 pages).

Głównym celem artykułu jest ukazanie wkładu wrocławskiego ośrodka rachunkowości, skupionego w Uniwersytecie Ekonomicznym we Wrocławiu, w rozwój rachunkowości zarządczej w Polsce w okresie powojennym, od początku jego istnienia. Wnioski przedstawione w artykule zostały sformułowane na podstawie studiów literaturowych prac zwartych opublikowanych przez czołowych twórców z tego ośrodka zajmujących się rachunkowością, w szczególności rachunkowością zarządczą. W artykule zostały przypomniane główne postacie, które przyczyniły się do powstania ośrodka wrocławskiego, a następnie do rozwoju rachunkowości zarządczej w Polsce. Dokonane analizy pokazały, że prace zwarte opublikowane w tym okresie dotyczyły problematyki, która mieściła się w ówczesnych nurtach rachunkowości zarządczej nie tylko w Polsce, ale także w skali światowej. Swoje dzieła z zakresu rachunkowości zarządczej opublikowało wielu pracowników naukowo-dydaktycznych z wrocławskiego ośrodka rachun-kowości, których należy zaliczyć do prekursorów rachunkowości zarządczej w naszym kraju. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że rozwój rachunkowości zarządczej w ośrodku wrocławskim następował w miarę, jak zmieniały się uwarunkowania funkcjonowania jednostek gospodarczych.

The main purpose of the paper was to present the scientific input and achievements of the Wroclaw school of accounting studies at Wroclaw University of Economics in the area of management accounting development in Poland in the post-war period, early in the history of the University. Conclusions presented in this paper are formulated on the basis of literature studies conducted by the author, with a special focus on the wealth of information published by the leading representatives of the Wroclaw centre, particularly in the area of management accounting. The paper offers insight into the work of the most prominent figures of the Wroclaw school and their roles in the initiation and evolution of the management accounting science in Poland. Analyses suggest that many of the scientific observations reported by the centre, both in the form of articles and non-serial printed publications, were consistent with the leading academic modes of approach to management accounting, not only in Poland, but also in the international dimension. Important publications in management accounting can be found in the scientific output of many researchers and academics of the Wroclaw school of accounting studies, with the most prominent figures rightly considered as precursors and pioneers of management accounting in Poland. In addition, the study provides evidence to confirm strong associations linking the evolution of management accounting studies at the Wroclaw centre with the current socio-economic transformations and turbulent conditions of economic operation observed in the post-war period.

The article focuses on historical aspects and the presentation of selected persons, who have had a key impact on reaching the principle of double-entry from Italy to Poland. It presents the history of the prevalence of the double-entry rule and thus Benedetto Cotrugli’s contribution to science and education in accounting. Cotrugli’s work was a compendium of merchant knowledge necessary to keep accounting books and the same time a basis for science and education in this field. It was Benedetto Cotrugli who made the first theoretical description of the rules of double accounting, exceeding by over 20 years the work of Luca Pacioli, who codified the principles of bookkeeping in his work Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita, published in Venice in 1491. Due to the fact that the article also attempts to present the meaning of Cotrugli’s book (Book on the Art of Trade), already written in 1458, for the history of accountancy in Poland, it also refers to Ambrogio Lerici, as the first Italian who dealt with dissemination of the double-entry rules in Gdańsk.

W artykule skoncentrowano się na aspektach historycznych i przedstawieniu wybranych postaci, które miały kluczowy wpływ na przeniesienie zasady podwójnego zapisu z Włoch do Polski. Przedstawia on historię upowszechnienia reguły podwójnego zapisu i tym samym prezentuje wkład Benedetta Cotrugliego w naukę i edukację w rachunkowości. Dzieło Cotrugliego stanowiło kompendium wiedzy kupieckiej niezbędnej do prowadzenia ksiąg rachunkowych oraz podstawę dla nauki i edukacji w tej dziedzinie. Dokonał on bowiem pierwszego teoretycznego opisu zasad podwójnej księgowości, wyprzedzając o przeszło 20 lat prace Luci Paciolego, który skodyfikował zasady prowadzenia ksiąg rachunkowych w swoim dziele Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita, wydanym w Wenecji w 1491 roku. W artykule podjęto jednocześnie próbę przedstawienia znaczenia głównego dzieła Cotrugliego Księga o sztuce handlu dla historii rachunkowości w Polsce, a także Ambrogio Lerici, jako pierwszego Włocha, który zajmował się rozpowszechnianiem zasad podwójnego zapisu w Gdańsku.
