Poullaos examines the three attempts made by member bodies of the Australian accounting profession to obtain a Royal Charter in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Poullaos argues that despite the importance of the Royal Charter to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the Australian accounting profession generally, the attempts to obtain the Charter have received little scholarly attention, particularly of a critical nature. He suggests that much already written in this area is confined to official and semi- official histories written primarily by present and former office bearers of the bodies involved. This constitutes a gap in the literature, providing the impetus for the study. Poullaos uses extensive archival material combined with secondary histories to construct an historical narrative which addresses several questions relating to the three Charter attempts. These questions include: "What were the conditions permitting the granting of the Royal Charter? Why was the Royal Charter sought? Why did the first two attempts fail and the third succeed?

Abstract
Making the Australian chartered accountant Chris Poullaos New York and London: Garland Publishing, 1994. This book is based on the author's doctoral dissertation completed at the University of New South Wales in 1992. Poullaos examines the three attempts made by member bodies of the Australian accounting profession to obtain a Royal Charter in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Poullaos argues that despite the importance of the Royal Charter to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the Australian accounting profession generally, the attempts to obtain the Charter have received little scholarly attention, particularly of a critical nature. He suggests that much already written in this area is confined to official and semi- official histories written primarily by present and former office bearers of the bodies involved. This constitutes a gap in the literature, providing the impetus for the study. Poullaos uses extensive archival material combined with secondary histories to construct an historical narrative which addresses several questions relating to the three Charter attempts.
