Description

Explore a significant moment in financial history with this Routledge Library Edition. This volume provides a deep look into the collapse of the City of Glasgow Bank in 1878. By examining the evidence presented during the original trial, readers can understand the specific reasons behind this major banking failure. The text reveals how a history of mismanagement was hidden by directors through deceit. It highlights how the lack of an independent audit allowed these issues to remain concealed until the collapse occurred. Originally published in 1879 and reissued in 1984, this work serves as a primary resource for those studying the evolution of accounting and corporate governance. This book is an essential addition for students and professionals interested in accounting history and the legal aspects of business failures. It offers a direct view of the evidence used to hold the directors and manager accountable, making it a valuable tool for understanding historical financial mismanagement and the importance of auditing standards.
