 History of Accounting

 The history of accounting has been around almost as long as money itself. Accounting
history dates back to ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt and Babylon. For
example, during the Roman Empire the government had detailed records of their finances.

However, modern accounting as a profession has only been around since the early 19th
century.Luca Pacioli is considered "The Father of Accounting and Bookkeeping" due to his
contributions to the development of accounting as a profession. An Italian mathematician
and friend of Leonardo da Vinci, Pacioli published a book on the double-entry system of
bookkeeping in 1494.

By 1880, the modern profession of accounting was fully formed and recognized by the

Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. This institute created many of
the systems by which accountants practice today. The formation of the institute occurred
in large part due to the Industrial Revolution. Merchants not only needed to track their
records but sought to avoid bankruptcy as well
