an advisor of Finance Minister Colbert. The Ordonnance,
often referred to as the “Code Savary”, legally required all merchants to keep an
orderly journal and to biennially prepare an inventory (i.e. balance sheet) of their commercial
assets, receivables and debts (Title III, Article VIII). Accounting records were mandated to be
4
disclosed in case of bankruptcy; otherwise, the bankrupt tradesman was accused of intentional
fraud (Title XI, Article 11). While the Ordonnance did not contain valuation rules, Savary’s
commentary perceived accounting as being dynamic in its ability to measure performance as
well as static in its aptitude in revealing pending bankruptcy. Thus, it proposed valuation of
assets and liabilities either at cost or their value of sale (Richard 2005; Savary 1675/1993)
