Abstract
Abstract: The aim of this historical account is to set forth the background behind the three petitions that Arthur Andersen & Co. submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) between 1954 and 1965 – two rejected and one accepted – to reform GAAP for SEC registrants. This is the first time that the two petitions that have survived have been published in the literature.
