Documenting the rise of the accountancy profession in Britain, the authors of this volume focus on the individual - the professional accountant - and adopt an economic determinist analysis to explain the rise of public practice and the transfer of staff to industry in increasing numbers.
There are more than a quarter of a million professional accountants in the UK today. This is a staggering statistic and The Priesthood of Industry explores the rise of accountants to their present position as the dominant professional grouping in the boardroom and the top echelons of British Management. The book traces the origins of the major professional bodies and the evolution of `family trees' of the `Big Six' accountancy firms: Coopers & Lybrand, KPMG, Price Waterhouse, Ernst & Young, Arthur Andersen, and Touche Ross.
