Beskrivelse
During the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, innovations in record-keeping and accounts auditing created the basis for the development of financial and administrative accountability throughout Western Europe. A world in which responsibility had traditionally been towards a social superior, such as one's lord, began a long and consequential transition towards institutional accountability through administrative procedures and the auditing of growing numbers of accounts. From England to the papal curia and from the duchy of Burgundy to that of Savoy, this volume traces the place of financial accountability in the political designs of late-medieval states, the role of accounts auditing and information management as tools for governance, and the impact of accountability on the everyday life of local communities.
