- Title
The Accounting Frontier.
- Authors
Dixon, Robert L.
- Abstract
A dozen scholars joined forces to produce this book of essays written as a tribute to Sir Alexander Fitzgerald. In his introduction to the book, Sir Douglas Copland states that 'no other person has contributed so much and in so many capacities to the academic development of accounting as Sir Alexander Fitzgerald'. In the final essay, by Professor Wilfred Prest, we are reminded of Sir Alexander's great public service over a period of fifteen years as Chairman of the Commonwealth Grants Commission. Some fifteen pages are required in the back of the book merely to list the written contributions of Sir Alexander through 1965, while another page lists the many official positions held during his distinguished career. Professors Chambers, Goldberg, and Mathews are, indeed, to be complimented for having undertaken production of a book of essays as a uniquely fitting form of tribute to a great man.
