CORPORATE FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING Treating of the Corporate Finances and Securities; Powers, Duties and Relations of the Corporation Treasurer WITH FORMS BY HARRY C. BENTLEY, C. P. A. Legal Notes by THOMAS CONYNGTON of the New York Bar Author of "Corporate Organization," "Corporate Management," etc. NEW YORK THE RONALD PRESS 1908 PREFACE. In no other department of corporation work is there the same need for a clear knowledge of the laws, the principles and the practices which control as in that of corporate finance and accounting. In no other department of corporation work is reliable information, arranged for ready reference, so difficult to secure. The present volume is intended to supply this need. For convenience in both treatment and use, the work is divided into six parts; the first treating of the treasurer's duties and legal obligations; the second of the corporate books of account; the third of the corporate finances including checks and dividends; the fourth of negotiable instruments; the fifth of the corporate securities; and the sixth presenting the forms used by the treasurer in the routine of his official work together with others relating to the corporate finances and securities. The author can claim full credit only for those portions of the work which relate to the corporate accounts and reports. Responsibility for the legal portions of the volume rests with Mr. Thomas Conyngton, already well and widely known as a writer on corporate subjects. The author feels well assured that Mr. Conyngton's reputation for accuracy and for clear, non-technical treatment of corporate matters, will be all sufficient evidence of the character and value of the material contributed by him. |
