1.0. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND




Accounting can be traced back to the beginning of creation when God himself laid a perfect example by giving account for all that he created. for each day of the six days of his creation, He put together His supernatural/divine resources to create a number of items and at the end of the work for each day ,He took stock.
The bible records that 'and God saw that it was good ' The verb saw suggests description, reporting or accounting for what would happen .."it was gud" brings in the aspect of analysis of the result which could be favorable or unfavorable...,but in this case it was favorable.


in the same vein ,every organization, whether profit making or nonprofit making, is expected to have records of the transaction which the organization will be involved in and the persons in-charge render the report of their stewardship at a set time.This transaction could be referring to the day to day activities of personnel in organization, the record of which are usually kept by the business or public administrators. Record in such a case are kept and communicated in monetary terms and accounts are responsible for keeping such records.Accounting is therefore a means of communication which are in monetary terms..

Accounting is a dynamic subject which has experienced changes in its techniques over the years

in the early days of accounting, emphasis was more on stewardship accounting... As time went on ,it became obvious that accounting should serve as a guide and a control measure with more emphasis now on analysis, forecasting and interpretation of records in the conducts of business activities, and of course ,the routine work of recording cumbersome figures manually has in recent times paved way for the use of computer especially in larger business organizations

ma concluding post on the history of accounting was removed for reasons ah donno...so am just gona summerize....Italians where the first to systematically keep records of account during the 14th-15th centuries..

in 1494, sir Lucas Pacioli a french mathematician published a book which also had a section which deals with methods of Book keeping and accounts...his referred to as the father of accounting.

in the 17th and 18th century, the domestic system was introduced and practiced by the United Kingdom

banks and other specialized business came up during the 19th century. consolidating Acts was enacted to rule the affairs of consolidated companies in this period.. legislation was also introduced about this period to oversee the affairs of the specialized companies like banks.the need for independent Audit of companies came up towards the close of this period.. independent Audit ,however, became a statutory requirement for companies by 1990.
