Invitation Programme

This is an open invitation for people interested to participate in the 8th World Congress of Accounting Historians. The 8th World Congress of Accounting Historians will be held in Madrid, Spain, from July 19 through 21, 2000, on the social science campus of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, in Getafe, a satellite town 11 kms (7 miles) from down town Madrid.

The Congress organizer is the Asociación Española de Contabilidad y Administración de Empresas (AECA), i.e. the Spanish Association of Accounting and Business Administration, through its Comisión de Historia de la Contabilidad (Accounting History Commission), sponsored by the Colegio Central de Titulados Mercantiles y Empresariales (Central Institute of Graduates in Commerce and Business Administration).

His Royal Highness the Prince of Asturias has accepted the role of Honorary President of the Congress.

The 8th World Congress of Accounting Historians coincides with the end of the second millennium of the Christian Era. This millennium has been precisely the period in which the Western Civilization found its origin, development and consolidation, building up on the foundations of the Ancient Roman Culture. In acknowledgement of the role of Ancient Rome in the construction of Europe and the Western Civilization, the motto of the Congress is written in latin. Combining and playing with the ideas of Plato's Academy and Michel Foucault, past and present, accounting is exhorted to know in depth the paths followed, that is, its history, stating at the same time that this is actually the task of the incoming millennium.
