This article seeks to portray Grigore Trancu-Iasi (1874–1940) as a versatile figure in academic, professional and political fields. It shows the fundamental role played by Trancu-Iasi as a key actor in the evolution of accounting theory, practice and profession in Romania in the context of accounting knowledge transfer from the different Italian schools of thought to Romania. The analysis highlights not only his contribution to the dissemination of doctrines on bankruptcy, double-entry bookkeeping and the functioning of the azienda (firm) but also his pivotal role in the synthesis of the various Italian schools of thought, which were conflicting at the time. Trancu-Iasi translated and adapted bankruptcy studies carried out by Italian scholars from different schools of thought. For instance, he referred to the study of the logismographic method Tuscan School and the subsequent asset-centred accounting system promoted by the Venetian School, and the studies on the azienda presented by different Italian schools. Therefore, in this article, Trancu-Iasi emerges as an outstanding interpreter of the new trends in Italian accounting theory and of the needs of an entire professional group in Romania.
Questo lavoro cerca di ritrarre Grigore Trancu-Iasi (1874–1940) come una figura versatile in ambito accademico, professionale e politico. Mostra il ruolo fondamentale svolto da Trancu-Iasi come attore chiave nell'evoluzione della teoria, della pratica e della professione contabile in Romania nel contesto del trasferimento di conoscenze contabili dalle diverse scuole di pensiero italiane alla Romania. L'analisi evidenzia non solo il suo contributo alla diffusione di dottrine sul fallimento, sulla partita doppia e sul funzionamento dell'azienda, ma anche il suo ruolo fondamentale nella sintesi delle varie scuole di pensiero italiane, che all'epoca erano in conflitto. Trancu-Iasi ha tradotto e adattato studi sul fallimento svolti da studiosi italiani di diverse scuole di pensiero. Ad esempio, ha fatto riferimento allo studio del metodo logismografico della scuola toscana e al successivo sistema contabile incentrato sul patrimonio promosso dalla scuola veneziana, e agli studi sull'azienda presentati da diverse scuole italiane. Pertanto, in questo articolo, Trancu-Iasi emerge come un'interprete eccezionale delle nuove tendenze della teoria contabile italiana e delle esigenze di un'intera categoria professionale in Romania.

Abstract
This article seeks to portray Grigore Trancu-Iasi (1874–1940) as a versatile figure in academic, professional and political fields. It shows the fundamental role played by Trancu-Iasi as a key actor in the evolution of accounting theory, practice and profession in Romania in the context of accounting knowledge transfer from the different Italian schools of thought to Romania. The analysis highlights not only his contribution to the dissemination of doctrines on bankruptcy, double-entry bookkeeping and the functioning of the azienda (firm) but also his pivotal role in the synthesis of the various Italian schools of thought, which were conflicting at the time. Trancu-Iasi translated and adapted bankruptcy studies carried out by Italian scholars from different schools of thought. For instance, he referred to the study of the logismographic method Tuscan School and the subsequent asset-centred accounting system promoted by the Venetian School, and the studies on the azienda presented by different Italian schools. Therefore, in this article, Trancu-Iasi emerges as an outstanding interpreter of the new trends in Italian accounting theory and of the needs of an entire professional group in Romania.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
