Professor Gary Spraakman, School of Administrative Studies, dug deep into the over-300-year accounting history of the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) and won the Barbara D. Merino Award for Excellence in Accounting History Publication.

The award was granted to Spraakman from the Academy of Accounting Historians, at the 2016 annual meeting of the American Accounting Association, in honour of his book Management Accounting at the Hudson’s Bay Company: From Quill Pen to Digitization. The book covers 335 years at HBC, which kept excellent and relevant accounting records over the centuries.
