Bio/Historical Note: Edward (Eddie) Stamp (1928-1986) was bom in Liverpool, England, studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge, and qualified in Toronto as an accountant. A naturalised Canadian, he became an academic in New Zealand, returning to Britain in 1968 to professorships at Edin¬burgh and then at Lancaster University, where he founded (and directed until his death in 1986) the International Centre for Research in Accounting. The only Professor of Accounting Research in Britain, he became widely known to account¬ ants worldwide, less for the originality of his ideas than for his robust campaigns to raise standards of corporate reporting, auditing, and open administration.
