This document discusses the role of accounting in the golden age of the Ayudhya Kingdom in 17th century Southeast Asia. It notes that Ayudhya established itself as a trading nation and its strategic location on rivers allowed it to become a center of economic activity, exchanging rice and other goods for weapons and luxury items from European traders. Taxes were imposed on traded goods and an accounting system was needed to track revenues and support decision making regarding finances for the palace, military, and public works. Accounting also helped develop Ayudhya's culture and literature during this golden age when it became a regional power and was recognized by European nations.

Public administration : Review of some critical papersMd Masum Billah
This article discusses governance and public administration in the age of globalization. It argues that politics and administration are intertwined, contrary to early theories that separated them. Globalization has increased the influence of international organizations on domestic governance in developing countries. While domestic policy traditionally considered organizational and national policies, it now must also consider international policies formulated by regional and global organizations. These organizations influence domestic governance through various means like workshops and publications, even if domestic policy does not directly engage with international affairs. The process of globalization has accelerated due to factors like increased economic interdependence and growth of international organizations, making governance a global issue rather than limited to individual nation states.

Self- Help Groups, a model for Economic Growth in Nagalandpaperpublications3
Abstract: The Economic status of a nation or a state is largely associated by the presence of industries, companies and manufacturing units. The state of Nagaland though surprisingly devoid of the presence of such industries and companies has been making steady progress over the years in its economic status but at a slow phase. The introduction of the Self- help Group scheme in the state in 1999-2000 has been a blessing to the people in many respects. The present paper dwells on the immense contribution made by the SHGs towards the growth of the state’s economy. It brings out to light the role of SHGs in strengthening the economic position of the state, employment opportunities generated and the number of people seriously engaged in the SHGs. The paper attempts to examine the huge potentiality SHGs have in the absence of industries and companies by making a case study of three districts of Nagaland viz. Peren, Kohima and Dimapur districts. It also brings out the SHGs –Bank linkage programmes in the state. For this purpose the paper is divided into three sections. Section I deals with introductory remarks and outlines, the significance of self help groups for employment generation with the infusion of low capital. It also provided an input to analyse the data relating to self help groups from an all India perspective Vis a Vis to self help groups in north eastern states. Section II draws attention of the economic profile of the state and also focus on the sample size for the study emphasising on the impact of self help groups and their contribution to socio- economic development. Section III analyses the findings of the study and provides concluding remarks and suggestions.
Keywords: Bank-linkage, Economic empowerment, income generation, low capital, potentiality. Self help groups, sustainability.

Notch angle was found to influence KIC values, with higher angles corresponding to higher toughness. This simple specimen geometry
Back-Propagation Neural Network Learning with Preserved Privacy using Cloud C...IOSR Journals
The document discusses a method for multiple parties to jointly conduct backpropagation neural network learning on their private datasets using cloud computing while preserving privacy. Each party encrypts their dataset using AES encryption and uploads the ciphertexts to the cloud. The cloud then homomorphically encrypts the ciphertexts using BGN encryption to allow operations like addition and multiplication to be performed without revealing the plaintexts. The cloud runs the backpropagation learning algorithm over the encrypted data to train the neural network in a collaborative manner. This allows private datasets from different parties to be jointly learned from while ensuring the privacy of each party's original data is maintained.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a method for segmenting blood vessels and the optic disc in retinal images using the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. The proposed method first extracts the retinal vascular tree using a graph cut approach with preprocessing including histogram equalization and distance transforms. The blood vessel segmentation results are then used to estimate the location of the optic disc, which is segmented using the EM algorithm and morphological operations. The segmentation of these structures in retinal images is important for detecting various eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and hypertension. The proposed unsupervised method aims to perform this segmentation automatically without human supervision.
The document describes the Heteroleach protocol, which aims to improve the stable operation of wireless sensor networks. It does this by using heterogeneous nodes, where some nodes called "advanced nodes" have higher initial energy than normal nodes. These advanced nodes have a higher probability of becoming cluster heads. This allows cluster heads to operate for longer without needing to rerun the setup phase, saving the overhead energy required for setup. According to simulations, the Heteroleach protocol was able to double the lifetime of the network compared to LEACH and SEP protocols by reducing the frequency of running the setup phase through the use of heterogeneous nodes.
This document summarizes a study that optimizes PID controller parameters for load frequency control in a four-area interconnected power system using particle swarm optimization.

Simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink demonstrate improved regulation of frequency deviations and tie-line power flows with the optimized PID controllers.
Pesse Na Siri’ Budgetary System: A Historiography Study of Luwu Kingdom in Is...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to explore the budgetary system of pesse na siri’ at Luwu kingdom in the Islamic period of 1593 to 1945. Through the historiography method, it showed the base existence of the spiritual sense sensitivity, i.e., pesse (empathy) and siri’ (shame) and Islamic law in budgetary system. In the resources management, it was carried out in four stages, namely planning, implementation, reporting, and evaluation. Operationally, the pesse na siri’ budgetary system on the mobilization mechanism of resources or budget (balanca) through the top down system (i.e., known as balanca pole riwawo) and bottom up system (i.e., known as balanca pole riawa). The top down system was a mobilization resource form from agricultural products of the king’s land (i.e., known in Buginese language as Tanana datue) and the palace logistic. Meanwhile, the bottom up came from the resource offer–i.e., known as makkasiwiyang–mechanism, consisting of makkasiwiyang lili’ (the lower government level), makkasiwiyang ale (personal/individual), and makkasiwiyang reso (labor). One of the Islamic impacts in this system was to direct the budgetary system based on the Shari’a or Islamic law.

The proposed method first extracts the retinal vascular tree using a graph cut approach with preprocessing including histogram equalization and distance transforms. The blood vessel segmentation results are then used to estimate the location of the optic disc, which is segmented using the EM algorithm and morphological operations. The segmentation of these structures in retinal images is important for detecting various eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and hypertension. The proposed unsupervised method aims to perform this segmentation automatically without human supervision.
The document describes the Heteroleach protocol, which aims to improve the stable operation of wireless sensor networks. It does this by using heterogeneous nodes, where some nodes called "advanced nodes" have higher initial energy than normal nodes. These advanced nodes have a higher probability of becoming cluster heads. This allows cluster heads to operate for longer without needing to rerun the setup phase, saving the overhead energy required for setup. According to simulations, the Heteroleach protocol was able to double the lifetime of the network compared to LEACH and SEP protocols by reducing the frequency of running the setup phase through the use of heterogeneous nodes.
This document summarizes a study that optimizes PID controller parameters for load frequency control in a four-area interconnected power system using particle swarm optimization.

Simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink demonstrate improved regulation of frequency deviations and tie-line power flows with the optimized PID controllers.
Pesse Na Siri’ Budgetary System: A Historiography Study of Luwu Kingdom in Is...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to explore the budgetary system of pesse na siri’ at Luwu kingdom in the Islamic period of 1593 to 1945. Through the historiography method, it showed the base existence of the spiritual sense sensitivity, i.e., pesse (empathy) and siri’ (shame) and Islamic law in budgetary system. In the resources management, it was carried out in four stages, namely planning, implementation, reporting, and evaluation. Operationally, the pesse na siri’ budgetary system on the mobilization mechanism of resources or budget (balanca) through the top down system (i.e., known as balanca pole riwawo) and bottom up system (i.e., known as balanca pole riawa). The top down system was a mobilization resource form from agricultural products of the king’s land (i.e., known in Buginese language as Tanana datue) and the palace logistic. Meanwhile, the bottom up came from the resource offer–i.e., known as makkasiwiyang–mechanism, consisting of makkasiwiyang lili’ (the lower government level), makkasiwiyang ale (personal/individual), and makkasiwiyang reso (labor). One of the Islamic impacts in this system was to direct the budgetary system based on the Shari’a or Islamic law.
The Roles of Riau-MalayCultureon Entrepreneurshipiosrjce
The purposes of this research were: 1) to identify the existence of Malay culture values in
Malayentrepreneur economic activity; 2) to define the role of Malay culture values towards business behavior
of Malay’sentrepreneur. This research used qualitative approch because it was able to use a reality, not only
the result of the research, but also the process and other real activities about that process.The finding shown
that there were some Malay cultures applied in economic activities, they were: (a) implementing tauhid
(religious) concept in business; (b) believing in life after death; (c) implementing praised character in business;
(d) being open to other people or country; and (e) thinking rationally. Moreover, there were some Malay culture
roles in enterprise behavior of Malay society as follows: networking, reciprocity, trust, norm, and proactive
The present economic development of Malaysia is inherited from the previous three levels, beginning with the rapid growth and rapid development of the natural resources industry from the mid-19th century until 1914, followed by a period of volatility or instability of the natural resources industry between the First and Second World War and finally The level of unification and rationalization of the natural resources industry along with economic diversification after 1945. Although Malaysia was a former British colony, South Korea’s economic interests had contributed to the change of foreign policy from the Pro-West Policy during colonial and post-colonial times to the East View Policy During the administration of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. Hence the principal problem in this study is to unravel the existence of the Look-To-The-East in Malaysia which focuses on South Korea before it becomes the main policy formed by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. In terms of methodology used, the initial stage of the research is to identify and collect primary and secondary sources from libraries, archives and reports from various government organizations. Recognizing the importance of South Korea to the Malaysian economy, the Look-To-The-East Idea is still maintained during the Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak and Tun Hussein Onn era. The continuity of the Look-To-The-East Idea which was continued by the three Prime Minister figures saw South Korea emerging as an inspiration in Malaysia’s trade relations when Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad took over the leadership of the country.
Double-entry bookkeeping has been in use for at least hundreds, if not thousands, of years. The early beginnings and development of accounting can be traced back to the ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia and is closely related to the development of writing, counting, and money. The concept of double-entry bookkeeping can date back to the Romans and early Medieval Middle Eastern civilizations, where simplified versions of the method can be found.
The accounting is a civilized knowledge and is as old as human civilization. The East, including Iran, has played a role in the development of accounting as well as its brilliance. But this situation did not remain stable. The easterners began to retreat and the westerns began to shine. The reasons for that are many. One of the main reasons for the lack of accounting development in the East is the lack of a capitalist system.

This document analyzes the performance of various modulation schemes for achieving energy efficient communication over fading channels in wireless sensor networks. It finds that for long transmission distances, low-order modulations like BPSK are optimal due to their lower SNR requirements. However, as transmission distance decreases, higher-order modulations like 16-QAM and 64-QAM become more optimal since they can transmit more bits per symbol, outweighing their higher SNR needs. Simulations show lifetime extensions up to 550% are possible in short-range networks by using higher-order modulations instead of just BPSK. The optimal modulation depends on transmission distance and balancing the energy used by electronic components versus power amplifiers.

Simulation results show scatter plots and eye diagrams of the modulated signals. A table compares the results, showing that 256-bit QAM provides better performance than 4-bit QPSK. The document concludes that QAM modulation is more effective for digital transmission systems.
The document proposes a hybrid technique using Anisotropic Scale Invariant Feature Transform (A-SIFT) and Robust Ensemble Support Vector Machine (RESVM) to accurately identify faces in images. A-SIFT improves upon traditional SIFT by applying anisotropic scaling to extract richer directional keypoints. Keypoints are processed with RESVM and hypothesis testing to increase accuracy above 95% by repeatedly reprocessing images until the threshold is met. The technique was tested on similar and different facial images and achieved better results than SIFT in retrieval time and reduced keypoints.
This document studies the effects of dielectric superstrate thickness on microstrip patch antenna parameters. Three types of probes-fed patch antennas (rectangular, circular, and square) were designed to operate at 2.4 GHz using Arlondiclad 880 substrate. The antennas were tested with and without an Arlondiclad 880 superstrate of varying thicknesses. It was found that adding a superstrate slightly degraded performance by lowering the resonant frequency and increasing return loss and VSWR, while decreasing bandwidth and gain. Specifically, increasing the superstrate thickness or dielectric constant resulted in greater changes to the antenna parameters.

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptxDiana Rose
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the role of accounting in the golden age of
the Ayudhya Kingdom in the 17th century. At that time, Ayudhya was recognized by European countries as a
super power in Southeast Asia and even surpassing London and Paris. In order to pay its soldiers, maintaining
building, architects, and public officials, Ayudhya needed resources. It encourages author to find out the role of
accounting in Ayudhya particularly from the military golden age during the reign of King Naresuan the Great
up to the literature golden age during the reign of King Narai the Great. This interpretive case study tries to get
a clear configuration of how accounting was posited and practiced in the Ayudhya Kingdom. Most of the
research data used in this study are associated with sociology, politics, economics, and also religious beliefs
obtained from the publications, such as international journals, reports, relevant researches, magazines, photos,
and poetry. Researcher also considered the context and culture to get the full picture of the Ayudhya accounting
and tried to interpret the facts with focusing on Ayudhya accounting role and practices in Ayudhya. This
research conclude that accounting had plays an important role in the golden age of Ayudhya. Accounting has
assisted the development of culture and literature as well as spiritual aspect. Thus it was associated with the
development and advancement of Ayudhya in achieving its own golden age in the 17th century and become a
new powerful force in Southeast Asia and to have well recognized from European countries at that time.
Keywords: Ayudhya, study of text, the role of accounting
I. Introduction
In the last three decades, there has been an emerging awareness of the importance of accounting in a
broader context. Awareness of the importance of a broader context in accounting research is based on the
dissatisfaction of the results of existing accounting studies that tends to focus only to the technical aspects and
calculative perspective of accounting (Sukoharsono, 1995a, 1995b).
Accounting is believed by accounting historians to play a critical role in the formation of society both
in traditional and modern as mentioned by Burchell, Clubb & Hopwood (1985):
“Accounting is coming to be seen as a social rather than a purely technical phenomenon. The social
contexts of the accounting craft are starting to be both recognized and made more problematic … accounting
both emerges from and itself gives rise to the wider contexts … Accounting … also has come to be more
actively and explicitly recognized as an instrument for social management and change.”
Furthermore, Miller, Hopper and Laughlin (1991) highlight the social aspects of accounting, especially
accounting history.
Several studies had investigated accounting in its wider context such as research by Mashayekh &
Mashayekhi (2008) that tried to study accounting in Iran in 500 BC in the Achaemenid era. According to the
study, revenues and expenditures had been well understood and even been recorded and evaluated, especially
during the reign of Darius the Great and was used to fulfill the needs of people from all strata. Stark & Allen
(1998) discussed the historical transition in Southeast Asia. This study provides an explanation of the influence
of western countries towards the development in Southeast Asia. Sukoharsono (1995a) discussed the history of
Indonesian accounting in the Dutch colonization era, specifically the era of East India Company (VOC). The
study concludes that accounting in Indonesia did not come into being suddenly, but through a long process and
with the influence of various aspects. Sukoharsono (1995b) also discusses the Indonesia's accounting during the
Dutch colonization. This study explains that accounting played an important role on Dutch's dominance in
Indonesia. Chutintaranond (1990) discusses the political system in the Middle-Ages in Southeast Asia. The
study discusses Ayudhya policy and guidance on trade which was called the law of Palatine. This study
concludes that the Ayudhya kings continually strived to encourage and educate people with Palatine law in
order to guard and secure themselves during the medieval political instability in Southeast Asia.
Historically, Southeast Asia has had contributed significantly in the development of agriculture and
international trade since the 8th century. The agricultural technologies in Southeast Asia have driven good crops
production both in its volume and quality that have attracted to foster international trading. The development in
metallurgy also increased agricultural outputs and makes trading smoother (Stark & Allen, 1998). Political and
spiritual history of Southeast Asia in general began since the 8th century (kingdom era) until the 19th century

(colonization era). Ayudhya kingdom was the center of economic, political, cultural, and spiritual in Southeast
Asia (Dellios, 2003, Weiss, & Shu 2011, 2012). Ayudhya was established as a small trading nation. Ayudhya
expanded to the north and took over the city of Sukhothai to fully incorporated all regions of the Sukhothai
kingdom and making all of them fall into the influence of Ayudhya (Wyatt, 1984:63-65, Thongsin 2002 &
Stratch, 2004).
Communication between Ayudhya officials and western countries had formally been active since 1511,
while Ayudhya kingdom was led by King Ramathibodi II in 1491-1529 (Campos, 1940, 1983). The role of
Ayudhya in international trade was growing due to the expansion of Ayudhya‟s territory. Ayudhya had the
widest sphere of influence during the reign of King Naresuan the Great which was referred to as the golden age
of Ayudhya in the military context. Trade with western countries brought prosperity to Ayudhya that made
Ayudhya enjoyed rapid growth. Ayudhya entered a golden era in culture and literature (civilization) during the
reign of King Narai the Great who ruled Ayudhya from 1656 until 1688. The peak achievement of prosperity,
trade and diplomacy is often referred to as the golden age of Ayudhya in the literature context in which literature
and art are at the peak of its achievement (Chumsriphan, 1990 & Chairatudomkul, 2008).
It has been mentioned earlier that accounting played an important role in various aspects of human life.
Accounting has been used to determine how much tax to be imposed (Farag, 2009). Accounting was also used
to support the imperial system, later colonization. With the implementation of accounting, western European
countries have long been able to grow so rapidly and eventually become the leader of the colonization system
(Wijewardena & Yapa, 1998 Sukoharsono 2005, & Jones, 2010). Based on the background described earlier, the
research question of this study can be formulated: "What is the role of accounting in the golden age of Ayudhya
kingdom in the 17th century?". The scope of this study is the role of accounting in Ayudhya golden age in the
17th century with a focus on: the role of accounting in culture and literature and; the role of accounting in
spiritual aspect. It is expected that this study could contribute a wider understanding about accounting,
specifically in its historical and social contexts. In so doing, it is also expected to foster current development of
accounting research in its broader context in Indonesia, especially historical and social context in general.
II. Research Method
2.1 Descriptive Qualitative Research and Data Used
Kirk and Miller (1986:9) define qualitative research as a particular tradition in social science that
fundamentally depends on human observations. Descriptive study attempts to describe, explain, and interpret the
condition. The purpose of descriptive study is to examine the phenomena that occur at a particular time and
place (Suyanto & Sutinah, 2006). Interpretive paradigms have a base thought that the rules that apply to the
natural sciences cannot be applied to the social sciences. The emphasis on the interpretive paradigm is to know
what the accounting numbers imply (Chua, 1986; Morgan, 1988; & Muawanah, 2010).
Data used in this research is mostly associated with sociology, politics, economics and religious beliefs.
Data used in the accounting history of Ayudhya is mostly from international journals. It also uses reports,
related researches, magazines, photos and poetry. In addition, author also visited universities libraries and learns
the context and culture which is supported by the cultural centers and sites. This research was expected to
answer the research question as to determine the role of accounting in the golden age of Ayudhya kingdom.
2.2 Definition of Accounting in This Research
American Institute of Accountants through Committee on Accounting Procedure (1940) defines
accounting as:
“Accounting is the art of recording, classifying and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms
of money, transactions and events which are, in part at least, of a financial character, and the results thereof.”
Furthermore, the American Accounting Association (1966:1) provides an accounting definition as:
“[As] the process of identifying, measuring, and communicating economic information to permit
informed judgments and decisions by users of the information.”
In the context of the definition of accounting in Indonesia, Suwardjono (2005:10) defines:
“Akuntansi sebagai seperangkat pengetahuan yang mempelajari perekayasaan penyediaan jasa berupa
informasi keuangan kuantitatif unit-unit organisasi dalam suatu lingkungan wilayah tertentu dan cara
penyampaian informasi tersebut kepada pihak yang berkepentingan untuk dijadikan dasar dalam pengambilan
keputusan ekonomik.”
Accounting definitions above are very narrow in understanding and tend to view accounting as a
technical phenomenon which is not influenced by environmental factors (Dillard, 1991 & Dillard & Ruchala,
2005).
Conventional accounting analysis ignores the issues involved in an attempt to gain an understanding of
the social accounting activities. Accounting activities have changed along with the birth of new phenomenon.
This new phenomena sees human interests influence the accounting activities. That gives scope to examine the
3. The Role of Accounting in the Golden Age of Ayudhya Kingdom
DOI: 10.9790/5933-06113945 www.iosrjournals.org 41 | Page
relationship between accounting with various organizational interests and social interests (Loft, 1986, Hopwood,
1987, 1990 & Bryer, 1991). Awareness of the importance of accounting in its social aspects is put forward by
Burchell, Clubb & Hopwood (1985). Furthermore, Miller, Hopper and Laughlin (1991) highlight the social
aspects of accounting, especially the history of accounting. Accounting practices have been performed since
ancient Egyptian times as pointed out by Farag (2009):
“[The] obligations were converted into levies or taxes. [The] tax assessors and collectors (scribes) met
with the village chief … to negotiate the tax … in the name of the king.”
Accounting at the time of ancient Egyptians was used to determine and collect taxes imposed by the
king. King also gained other incomes beside taxes as shown by Farag (2009):
“The king also collected royal gifts as a form of tribute from foreign populations … This required the
development of an elaborate accounting system … [to] kept royal gifts separate from taxes.”
Other incomes received from tributes must be accounted separately outside tax revenues so an
accounting system was used to accommodate it.
Based on above quotations, descriptions, and explanations, author concludes that accounting has long
existed. Indeed, it has a broader meaning than the definitions of modern accounting nowadays that tend to be
defined narrowly, no more than financial accounting (Sukoharsono 1995a:58). In this study, accounting is
defined as: “Knowledge that is affected and affects various aspects of human life and calculation of economic
and non-economic aspects, which may include but not limited to finance, trade, taxation, systems, instruments,
and accountability in order to support decision making”. Accounting definitions used in this study is more
inclined towards social aspect which refers to the thoughts of Farag (2009) which emphasizes aspects of the
trade, taxation, systems and decision-making.
2.3 Mandala Political System
Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning circle. The concept of Mandala was popularized by Oliver
William Wolters, a British scholar and historian. Mandala is a model to describe the patterns of political power
that is composed of Mueang ("city-state") in the early history of Southeast Asia. Mandala is used to show the
traditional political formations in the Southeast Asian kingdoms and vassals under the centered dominations
(Winichakul, 1994, Dellios 2003, Shu 2011, 2012).
Each city-state connected with hegemony system by giving tribute (tributaries system). Each city-states
are influencing and being influenced by other nearby city-states (Chutintaranond, 1990 & Dellios, 2003). In
Mandala, each leader trying to consolidate territory claims, compete with other city-states for some dispute areas
while also maintaining political relations with the more dominant city-states in order to gain support and when
being a target of the invasion (Chutintaranond, 1990). The expansion is not only done physically or territorial
invasion but also through indoctrination through influence in culture, celebrations or ceremonies and also
religious influences (Stuart- Fox, 1994). The main objective in Mandala was not to conquer and eliminate all
city-states but became empire-state to gain recognition as the Overlord and get tribute as a symbol of submission
(Wolters, 1982:27).
III. Trade as a Form of Ayudhya’s Accounting Practice
3.1 Establishement of Ayudhya as a Trading Nation
Ayudhya was first established as a small trading nation. Charnvit Kasetsiri in 'The Rise of Ayutthaya'
depicts the founding of Ayudhya (Wyatt, 1984:63-65 , Thongsin 2002 & Stratch, 2004). Ayudhya‟s position
which was quite close to the river and the sea quickly became a center of economic activities. Rice was usually
exchanged for luxury goods and weapons from western nations. Trade with Europe was growing rapidly in the
17th century. Goods were sold to European traders, among others: sappan wood, deerskin, rice, salt, dried fish,
wine, and vegetables. They were exchanged for modern weapons from Europe, such as rifles and cannons. King
imposed taxes on every item traded (Jumsai, 2001:14).
According to Jumsai (2001:14), natural products owned and sold by Ayudhya were very abundant,
among others:
“Trees, fruits, garlic, potatoes, radish, cucumbers, oranges, lemons, citrons, pomegranates, figs,
bananas, guavas, jackfruits, durians, mangoes, mangosteens, tamarinds, pineapples, coconuts, pepper, sugar
cane, wood and bamboo. Among animal were oxen, bufflaloes, sheep, goats, deer, hogs, wild fowl, small birds,
peacocks and parrots. Among the mineral were gold mines and loadstones near Louvo and Junk Ceylon.”
Ayudhya‟s trading partners were Kedah, Pegu, Bengal, Gujirat, Ceylon, Ava, Chiang Mai, Luang
Prabang, China, and Coromandel. Ayudhya also had four factories, one of which was located in Japan (Jumsai,
2001:14).
External trade or exports was made under the authority of the court or under a license granted by the
King. The duty of Crown is to collect taxes based on the trade. With this way, the king build a taxation and levy
system that used for financing the expense for the palace, war and public works such as building temples, forts,

roads and canals (Chumsriphan, 1990). Sitting on the shores of an estuary, Ayudhya was busy delivering people
and goods. Ayudhya, being traversed by three large rivers: the Bang Pakong river, the Chao Phraya river, and
the Suphanburi river, earning the nickname 'Venice of the East' by Fernão Mendes Pinto, a Portuguese worker
(Stratch, 2004) as noted by Iria (1982) and confirmed by Day (1991:68).
Ayudhya began to expand by conquering northern city-states namely Sukhothai, Kamphaeng Phet, and
Phitsanulok (Chumsriphan, 1990 & Chutintaranond, 1992). Ayudhya maintained stability in politics and
spirituality as well. One of the efforts in spirituality was by depicting the image of the king as a Buddha since
King Borommatrailokkanath (1448-1488) had proclaimed himself a Buddha/Ongphutthangkun Borombophit
and a God/Tepmanut/Divine Being (Poopongpan, 2007).
3.2 King Naresuan the Great (1555-1605; Reigned 1590-1605)
King Naresuan the Great played a major role in the expansion of Ayudhya. He ruled Ayudhya in 1590-
1605 as described by Wyatt (1984:100):
“It is difficult to imagine that the history of Ayutthaya would have been the same without King
Naresuan, for he is one of those rare figures in Siamese history who by virtue of dynamic leadership, personal
courage and decisive character, succeeded in Herculean tasks that have daunted others before him.”
King Naresuan the Great was also highly respected due to the liberation of Ayudhya from Burma,
which was its main rival, as described by Winichakul (1994:62):
“Siam and Burma had been arch-rivals … As both sides launched periodic attacks against each other,
the towns between the two kingdoms … became crucial for both sides … From time to time, people and towns
came under the control of one side to cultivate food for the troops while they were at the same time the targets
of destruction from the other.”
In the reign of King Naresuan the Great carried a lot of expansion. At the peak of its military under
King Naresuan the Great, Ayudhya controlled the territory of Lan Na, Lan Xang, Sukhothai, Khmer, Pegu and
the entire Malaysia peninsula. None can be match to the power of Ayudhya at that time (Jumsai, 2001:12) which
as the widest sphere of influence that referred to as the golden age of Ayudhya in the military context. It makes
Ayudhya be the strongest kingdom in the Southeast Asian that were taken into account by European countries
(Thongsin, 2002, Dellios 2003, Weiss, & Shu 2011, 2012).
3.3 King Narai the Great (1633-1688; Reigned 1656-1688)
King Narai the Great ascended the throne in 1656 and ruled until 1688 to inherit a large and powerful
empire in the middle of mainland Southeast Asia (Hodges, 1999). Due to the good climate and the absence of
flooding, King Narai the Great prefers to live in Lop Buri. Eastern region of Lop Buri is full of wild animals
such as elephants and tigers. People have a close relationship with the elephant. Elephants are used as vehicles
in the war as well as for work. Elephants are important so it was being captured and brought to the palace.
Elephants are then trained to be able to live in harmony with humans. King Narai the Great is also instructs
30,000 to 40,000 workers to hunt elephants to be exported to India. At that time the elephant is an important
export commodity (Chairatudomkul, 2008 & Kit, 2012).
The reign of King Narai the Great had brought Ayudhya to the golden age of literature. The reign of
King Narai the Great has been recognized in the history of Ayudhya, as described by Chumsriphan (1990:28):
“After winning the throne in 1656, Narai crowned himself as king of Siam (1656-1688). This is
perhaps one of the most eventful reigns of Siamese history. His reign has been one of the most glorious.”
3.4 Ayudhya’s Trading System
Ayudhya is well known as a trading city because of its strategic location. There are local products for
export such as rice, tin, deer‟s leather, rhino‟s horn and elephants. The elephant trading is monopolized by the
King. Royal family in India prefers elephants from Ayudhya as it was bigger than the elephants of Ceylon, and
it worth as a benzoin (resin from tree to therapeutic) and a wooden eagle. Traders from the east stopped in
Ayudhya to get profit by buying from Ayudhya and reselling these items. Ayudhya and Lop Buri has become
the important trading post in Southeast Asia during his reign (Chairatudomkul, 2008).
Ayudhya earn income from existing trade. Exports performed taxed at 6.7%, while for imports, the
merchants from China are required to pay a tax of 16.7%, which is lower than the merchants from other
countries which are 22.2% (Breazeale, 1999:16). Applicable tax rates have changed over to the size of trade at
Ayudhya. Existing tax rates lowered gradually in line with increased trading volume. At the end of Ayudhya,
the applicable tax rate is based on the width of transport ships, amounting to 6 baht (equivalent to 90 grams of
silver) per meter of width of the ship to the countries which frequently trade at Ayudhya and have a good
relationship with Ayudhya, while for the other countries are 10 baht per meter of width transports (Breazeale,
1999:17).

3.5 Ayudhya’s Trade with European Powers
First Portuguese arrival to Ayudhya was in 1430 to Locac, an area in the southern part of Ayudhya that
noted that many gold, elephants and wood were found. Nicolo Conti come to Tanasserim called Mergui during
the reign of King Borommaracha II (1424-1448) (Campos, 1940, Campos, 1983 & Jumsai, 2001:12-13). Duarte
Babosa, the Portuguese Crown in India for the year 1500-1517 explained that the Tenasserim (Mergui), Kedah,
Pattani and Selangor are parts of Ayudhya (Campos, 1940, Villiers, 1998 & Stratch, 2004). Alfonso de
Albuquerque describe that Ayudhya is a powerful kingdom which is noted by Matos (1982).
Ayudhya is active in trading with the Portuguese after the Portuguese conquered Malacca in 1511
followed by trading with Dutch in 1592 while still maintain trading with China and Ceylon with using Bangkok
and Junk Ceylon as trading centers (Day, 1991:8 & Kit, 2012). Diplomatic relation with the Portuguese is
continue, recorded in 1518, D. Aleixo de Manezes, person in-charge for the region of Malacca by the
Portuguese sending Duarte Coelho to King Ramathibodi II with a letter and gifts from King Manoel of Portugal.
The gifts are for reply to King Ramathibodi II by King Manoel through the Portuguese ambassador, Antonio
Miranda de Azevedo. The arrival of Duarte Coelho is also to conduct a peace agreement in the Malacca Strait,
and as a substitute, the Portuguese will supply Ayudhya with guns and ammunitions. Through this agreement,
trade centers in Ayudhya are enabled for sending and receiving merchandise from the waterway and to Lisbon,
Portugal. Goods being trade are such as rice, salt, dried fish, vegetables, wood, tin, copper, silver, gold, ivory
and clothing (Campos, 1940, 1983 & Villiers, 1998).
Dutch East India Company also do trade by acting as a middleman by buying from Ayudhya and sell
back to Japan which primarily deer skin to make a jacket, gloves, gun, armor, tabi socks and also to cover
coating box (Campos, 1940). The most sought after products from outside by Ayudhya are gun and cannon from
Europe (Chairatudomkul, 2008 & Wade, 2009). Dutch do trade by using Pattani as Ayudhya‟s trading post
along with China. Ayudhya do trade with Dutch to get supply of weapons and ammunition. With the
technological advances in the fields of military, Ayudhya could maintain security and politics amid in the
competition and confrontation with the Khmer, Burmese and its rivals in the northern regions of Ayudhya
(Hoefer, Warren & Rangsit, 1991:28, Jumsai, 2001:14 & Stratch, 2004).
In 17th century, the French sent the ambassador, La Loubere, to King Narai the Great as a symbol of
good relations both parties and to strengthen the cooperation. King Narai the Great is also has trade with
European countries. To minimize the risk of being attacked by the Dutch, Ayudhya strengthen relations with the
UK, also with French who was trying to convert Thai population to Catholicism (Campos, 1940, Hoefer,
Warren & Rangsit, 1991:28 & Hodges, 1999). The traders were friendly greeted by Ayudhya, both merchants
from China, Japan, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands. Ayudhya maintains commercial relationships with
many of the merchants to protect against the excessive influence of a single force in Ayudhya (Rego, 1982).
Trading with various European powers helps Ayudhya from the excessive influence of a single force as
described by Fisher (1943:679-688):
“King Narai had turned to the French in the hope of using them to counteract the Dutch influence in
Siam … since the Dutch and the French were enemies in Europe and fought the Franco-Dutch war of 1672-
1678, the war of the league of Augsburg 1689-1697.”
IV. The Role Of Accounting In The Golden Age Of Ayudhya
Accounting cannot be understood only as an economic transaction or a transaction of trade. Accounting
in Ayudhya has been born as a discipline that cannot be separated from the various aspects of life such as the
life of their communities in Ayudhya in the Chao Phraya lowlands with fertile soil to grow rice that produces
good development of rice cultivation. The elephant trade relationship is based the synergy between humans and
elephants, which is then followed by the training of elephants in order to live together with humans and
elephants which ultimately encourages the cultivation of interest in the elephant trade as one of the important
export commodities.
The emerging economy makes Ayudhya grows rapidly. Through accounting, Ayudhya became known
as a new force in Southeast Asia at that time as described by Herbert (1638:316-317):
“Siam is famous for power, wealth and many sorts of excellencies … in rich stones, as Dyamonds, Chrysolites,
Onix stones, Magnets, Bezarrs, Benjamin, Cotton, and Mynes of Gold, Silver, Iron, Copper.”
Jumsai (2001:12) attempts to compare Ayutthaya by the European powers at the time:
“At zenith of power, under Naresuan the Great … There were never a rich and strong country rivaling the power
of Ayudhya during those days … Compare with London or Paris at the time … Ayudhya was much greater.”
Accounting has been practiced at that time, moreover it had an important role in encouraging the
growth of Ayudhya from a small trading nation become a centre of Southeast Asia that well known by European
countries. The following discussion with describes the role of accounting in the golden age of Ayudhya
Kingdom in two sub-topics: the role of accounting in the culture and literature as well as the role of accounting
in spiritual aspect.

4.1 The Role of the Accounting in Culture and Literature
Language and literature in the era of King Narai the Great recorded on paper and palm leaves. Book in
Thai language was first written during this period (Chumsriphan, 1990:29). In the 18th century, has been found
some notes and work from King Narai the Great‟s era, including 'Jindamani', a Thai language first textbook that
written in 1672, also the 'Luang Prasoet of Ayutthaya' formally known as „Phraratchaphongsawadan Krung Si
Ayuthaya Chabap Luang Prasoet Aksonit‟ that written 1679-1680, which is a first documentation of Ayudhya
that written by Phra Horathibodi/court‟s expert in solar (Hodges, 1999).
Ayudhya‟s golden age of literature has been known by European countries. This fact can be seen from
the inclusion of Ayudhya in the world map at the time that was begin to be popularized by European
cartographers, as described by Sternstein (1964). In the development of cartography, Ayudhya is included in the
popular world map, that being confirmed by Winichakul (1994:113):
“Thereafter Siam was well recognized by prominent mapmakers … The French envoys and
cartographers of the court of Louis XIV published many maps of Siam and passed their knowledge to other
European mapmakers … from then on, Siam was prominent on all maps of the region by European
mapmakers.”
4.2 The Role of the Accounting in Spiritual Aspect
Spanish and Portuguese was eager to spread Catholicism in Southeast Asia, especially in Ayudhya and
Khmer. It was done by Spain in the Philippines and in Ayudhya by the Portuguese (Campos, 1940 & Villiers,
1998). Portuguese put many bishops to settle in Ayudhya in order to convert Thai to Catholicism. Matos (1982)
documenting the letter written by the King of Portugal, Dom Manuel to Pope Leo X on June 6, 1513:
“Having known this, the King of Siam who is very powerful in East both in vassals and in land and to
whom it was believed Malacca rightly belonged but had been taken from him by the Moors, sent and emissary
to our Governor [Alfonso de Albuquerque] … We do not doubt that this will be greatly favoured by God and
will result in the expansion of the Catholic Faith.”
Ayudhya respects the religious tolerance. King Narai the Great is recorded to support the development
of Islam with mosques for Muslim people. There is a letter written by Portuguese traders in Malacca in 1554
after do trades with Ayudhya. It a report to Portuguese in order to delivery missionaries to Ayudhya (Iria, 1982):
“I went to the city of Ayuthia … In this city of Siam there are seven mosques which are used by the
Turks and Arabs and there are about thirty thousand Moorish homesteads … These Moors are continuously
preaching the Koran of Mahomet. The King allows each one to do as he pleases and to be a Moor or Gentile.”
Jumsai (2001:14) added:
“Religious toleration and freedom … has been the policy of Thai kings during the Ayudhya period …
Thus King Narai even granted lands and assisted the French missionaries with materials and laborers to build
their church in Ayudhya. Such generosity and freedom never existed anywhere else.”
V. Conclusion
From the review of the text in this study, it was concluded that the accounting has plays an important
role in the golden age of Ayudhya, which can generally be divided into two aspects:
1. The role of accounting in culture and literature through the engineering and architectural styles, fashions as
well as writing the first book that made in Ayudhya period. Through accounting, Ayudhya was recognized
by foreign countries as a new central in Southeast Asia both by countries in Asia and Europe.
2. The role of accounting in spiritual aspect through religious tolerance that is in Ayudhya, which also can be
seen from the building of the churches for the Christians and mosques for the Moslems that was the
religions exist besides Hinduism and Buddhism.
Based on the role through trading of Ayudhya‟s accounting described above, it can be seen that
accounting has a focal role. Accounting that has been exist has an important role in the development of culture
and literature as well as spiritual aspect. Accounting has plyas a vital role in the development and advancement
of Ayudhya to achieve golden age in the 17th century. Accounting that exist widened Ayudhya and has brought
new powerful force in Southeast Asia which received recognition from European countries at that time.
