Abstract
This chapter details the development of 'conceptual frameworks' for financial accounting and later reporting as the industrial revolution affects the sourcing and reporting to capital contributors. Covering nearly two centuries of writings in the United States, the work represents a unique analysis of the search for symmetry of thought and the employment of pragmatic approaches to resolving important issues.
