Give this one a try later!
The Committee on Accounting Procedure was a special committee of the
American Institute of CPAs that, between the years of 1939 and 1959, issued
51 Accounting Research Bulletins dealing with a wide variety of timely

problems and narrowed the range of alternative practices. But, the

defined and well-structured body of accounting theory that was so badly
needed.
