             Bringing History into the Classroom
             Stephen A. Zeff/Keith Anderson Professor of Accounting/Rice University/Houston
10:45 a.m.

             History can provide insights into how our current accounting standards and practices were shaped by “political” lobbying, the income
             tax law, actions by the SEC, actions by the New York Stock Exchange, actions by companies and actions by Congress. Discuss the
             special factors that shaped about a dozen standards or practices that we teach in our financial accounting courses, including LIFO,
             stock dividends, accelerated depreciation methods, lower of cost or market, capitalization of interest, segment reporting and
             investments in debt securities. Gain an understanding of how history (not mentioned in textbooks) can enlighten students about the
             dynamic of standard setting, which can lead to a lively class discussion.
