Abstract

This article analyses the emergence of a new area of interest in the French accounting literature of the nineteenth century: the definition and redefinition of the division of accounting labour. This approach to organizational issues is examined through accounting works listed in the Union Catalogue of France whose titles contain the terms ‘accounting' or ‘bookkeeping' and the first management works of the period. This study focuses on the role of management texts in the establishment of the accountancy division of labour and highlights the importance of cultural factors in the development of a new type of organization for accounting activities.
