Accounting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
.
Accounting or accountancy is the measurement, processing and communication of financial information
about economic entities.The modern field was established by the Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli in
1494. Accounting, which has been called the "language of business", measures the results of an organization's
economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of users, including investors, creditors, management,
and regulators. Practitioners of accounting are known as accountants. The terms 'accounting' and 'financial reporting'
are often used as synonyms.
Accounting can be divided into several fields including financial accounting, management accounting, auditing, and tax
accounting. Accounting information systems are designed to support accounting functions and related activities.
Financial accounting focuses on the reporting of an organization's financial information, including the preparation
of financial statements, to external users of the information, such as investors, regulators and suppliers; and
management accounting focuses on the measurement, analysis and reporting of information for internal use by
management. The recording of financial transactions, so that summaries of the financials may be presented in financial
reports, is known as bookkeeping, of which double-entry bookkeeping is the most common system.
Accounting is facilitated by accounting organizations such as standard-setters, accounting firms and professional
bodies. Financial statements are usually audited by accounting firms, and are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles(GAAP). GAAP is set by various standard-setting organizations such as the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the United States and the Financial Reporting Council in the United Kingdom.
As of 2012, "all major economies" have plans to converge towards or adopt the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).
