Accounting is the discipline with the oldest historical culture,
being the first to be recognized by humanity when Adam and Eve were
made to account for what they did in paradise. It is also the only
discipline that will come into play in the Hereafter, where
everybody would be raised up as an accountant - to account for all
they have done during their life time on earth Accounting is a
service-providing discipline, with a rich theoretical background,
which makes available information (especially financial) to guide
various decision-making processes. Business owners, creditors,
managers, prospective investors, government and its agencies,
employees and even the general public seek accounting information
to guide them when taking various informed decisions about
reporting entities and the environment within which they operate.
This book addresses the historical accounting culture, its theories
as well as its practices. It is made up of fifteen chapters,
covering various historical, theoretical and practical aspects of
Accounting, ranging from accounting standardization to financial
reporting. The book is an attempt to address some of the lacunae in
advanced accounting issues, both in theory and in practice.
Students of advanced accounting theory and practice at the
professional and academic levels in Universities, Polytechnics and
Professional Institutes would find the book an essential companion.
