Accounting and work in historical perspective.

The tenth I Accounting History i international conference (10 I AH i IC) held in Paris in September 2019 on the theme of Accounting and Work was the last congress where the Accounting History community was able to meet in person, discuss their research in a "traditional" mode which implied physical presence, and socialise - during a non-virtual, and memorable cruise on the Seine. Accounting was essential for this religious society, keeping track of the contributions of its members, however labour relations with members were not translated into the modified cash-based accounting system (as they were not paid in cash). The other contributions in this special issue further explore the link between accounting and work, considering the nature of work relations in a variety of settings and periods.
