What to Focus On

  • Accounting is a process, not just book-keeping.
  • It deals with economic events that can be measured in monetary terms.
  • It identifies, measures, records, and communicates information.
  • Accounting is very old and has a long history.
  • Different civilisations used accounting in different forms.
  • Pacioli’s book is an important milestone in double entry book-keeping.
  • Economic events are measurable in money.
  • Identification decides what to record.
  • Measurement uses rupees and paise.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Accounting is only book-keeping and recording transactions.

The 1941 AICPA definition and the 1966 AAA definition mean the same thing in different words.

If a matter is important to business, it must be recorded in accounting books even if it cannot be measured in money.
