What is accountancy?
Accountancy is the practice of recording, classifying, and reporting on business transactions for a business. It provides feedback to management regarding the financial results and status of an organization.
The process of recording and summarising financial transactions is known as ‘bookkeeping’. When the data is produced in reports for the use of individuals or companies outside the organisation, the process is called ‘financial accounting’.
It refers to the process of measuring, summarising, and communicating the financial information produced by bookkeeping to classify and explain account information to relevant parties such as shareholders and managers.
