Abstract
Durante las últimas décadas de dominio español en la Isla de Puerto Rico, desde la metrópoli se articularon nuevos procedimientos a través de diversas reformas, para mejorar la Administración colonial de esta provincia ultramarina. Entre ellas destacan, por su calado, la implantación de un sistema de contabilidad presupuestaria y, posteriormente, la creación de un estado contable para detallar las operaciones que se habían producido sin consignación presupuestaria. En este trabajo se analiza este último estado contable pionero y se demuestra que la Administración Pública de mediados del siglo XIX disponía de importantes conocimientos en materia de Contabilidad Pública para identificar, sistematizar y controlar adecuadamente los hechos contables no incluidos en los presupuestos anuales.
During the last decades of Spanish rule on the Island of Puerto Rico, the Spanish colonial authorities introduced new procedures through various reforms to improve the colonial administration of this overseas province. These reforms included the introduction of a budgetary accounting system and the double entry method. Contemporary literature describes the administrative reforms implemented in the colony as a failure. In this paper we analyse this pioneering accounting system and demonstrate that the public administration of the mid-19th century had significant knowledge of public accounting in order to identify and systematize the accounting events not included in the annual budgets.
