    Unigraphic accounting (simple accounting) informationally reproduced the facts of economic life in the units of measurement in which they arose. It has gone through five stages in its development.

    The use of accounts to register changes in economic assets and reflect settlements with individuals and legal entities, the legal regulation of accounting records led to the emergence of the so-called simple accounting. It represented a system of continuous and systematic monitoring of the course of the economic process. Simple bookkeeping allowed to create single system accounting and take control of all the material and monetary resources of the enterprise, as well as its calculations. But this system also had significant negative points in accounting there was no mirror reflection, initially too many conventions and assumptions penetrated into it; it was clearly of a registration nature; accounting funds for determining

    In the Middle Ages, two main areas of accounting are formed - cameral and simple accounting. The cameral proceeded from the fact that the cash desk, expected receipts, and also payments from it were recognized as the main object of accounting. All receipts and payments of funds were subject to registration, and income and expenses were established in advance. Simple bookkeeping involved property accounting, including cash, and income and expenses became required for the accountant. All property accounts were kept on a debit-credit basis, but own funds accounts were not yet included in the information accounting system. The continuing growth of the commodity economy put forward accounting in the first place. cash and monetary obligations(century-

    Simple bookkeeping recognized as the main object

    However, these remarks could not seriously oppose Pacioli's dogma, and he became, perhaps, the most important principle of modern accounting thought, because all accountants agree that without double entry there is no and cannot be double entry bookkeeping. (Things come to the point of absurdity for small businesses, simple accounting is introduced, and someone successfully proposes a methodology for how to draw up a balance sheet based on its data.) However, conviction, as G. Pierce (1839-1914) well showed, ... is a mental a habit in accordance with which we will act when the opportunity presents itself [Pearce, p. 217].

    Now let us turn to those who tried to derive double entry from internal causes, from the genesis of the counting idea. Some deduced it from the paradigm of simple accounting, others from cameral, and in the latter case, one group of scientists focuses on the Cash account as the starting point of development, the other on the evolution of checking accounts.

    Simple bookkeeping reflected about 80% of all the facts of economic life using double entry. At first, it was of a purely naturalistic nature ... each calculated ratio presupposes, - wrote I. G. Maksimov, - besides the owner, another person. Here is a full allusion to double bookkeeping. This means that the order of double counting in personal calculations was reflected at the very first steps of human society and manifested itself by itself, due to logical necessity.

    A variety of simple bookkeeping in medieval and bourgeois Europe was considered the so-called cameral bookkeeping, which focused on accounting for cash and estimates (budget). It was a detailed accounting of the cash desk with the allocation of accounts opened for each type of receipts and payments in accordance with the intended appropriations.

    The most significant thing in cameral accounting was the circumstance that it provided not only for the registration of facts of economic life that had already taken place, but also of those facts that had yet to take place. This allowed the administration to systematically monitor the implementation of the estimate. Simple accounting made it possible to create a unified accounting system and take control of all the material, cash assets of the enterprise and all its calculations. But this seemingly perfect system of mirror reflection had its own flaws, firstly, the reflection, in essence, was not a mirror reflection, already initially too many conventions and assumptions penetrated into it; secondly, accounting was purely registration in nature, did not reveal the legal and economic meaning thirdly, there were no accounting tools for determining the purpose of the economy - the amount of profit; fourthly, there were no results that would automatically control the amounts reflected in the accounting. It is no coincidence that W. Sombart wrote that the lack of desire and ability to count accurately is most clearly manifested in the accounting of the Middle Ages. That the scores must inevitably converge is an idea that belongs exclusively to modern times (ibid.).

    Although this definition covers the concept of simple bookkeeping, nevertheless, the author himself did not mean this, which follows from his statement ... simple bookkeeping cannot be considered from a scientific point of view.

    The invariant must include 1) a digraphic entry, since simple accounting is actually the same double one from which own funds accounts are removed, and, therefore, simple accounting acts as special case double 2) chronological and systematic recording at the same time 3) n - the number of levels of generalization of accounting information 4) a record that registers the accomplished and expected facts of economic life.

    This assumption means that on the balance sheet of the organization there should not be property that does not belong to this organization. Property under the control of the organization, but not owned by it, is accounted for off the balance sheet (on off-balance accounts) according to the rules of simple accounting, i.e. without the use of double entry accounting.

    At first glance, everything is simple. Payroll accountants perform calculations weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Why not just repeat the same calculations with an eye to the future Actually, that's exactly what they do. But the whole complexity of planning labor costs is by no means in the calculations. The main thing is the decisions that precede the calculations.

    The functions of auditors go beyond certifying the fact of the reliability of reports based on the results of checking the financial activities of their clients. For example, the responsibility of the inspectors also includes advising the administration of the company on management issues, etc. There are also simple accountants-consultants who work privately and are involved by their clients in special cases. At the same time, each of the users of audit services, taking care of their own interests, objectively needs the functions that auditors perform.

    Highlighting changes. The authors, and it is important to emphasize this, require disclosure in the explanatory notes to the financial statements of significant (material) facts of economic life that occurred from the moment the report was drawn up and the date it was signed after it was drawn up. This makes the financial statement realistic enough, revealing its true content by the time users begin to get acquainted with it. And hence the most important conclusion that can be drawn from this fundamental book is that accounting information is compiled by an accountant not for himself, not for reporting and not for show, but for people. There are many people, their interests are contradictory and even often antagonistic, but an accountant, fulfilling his duty and following the spirit and letter of the law, nevertheless must always understand that behind the columns of numbers, behind accounting information, there are the interests of users and the authors are not without pride in the last twenty the fourth chapter is written From the first pages of this book, the question of what information should be presented to the public by the head of the company runs like a red thread. Not just an accountant, the authors emphasize, - the head of the company, because it is he who is responsible for

    Accounting (department, department, management or just accounting) is one of the structural divisions of the bank. Its structure depends on the types of services performed and the number of clients served. The accounting department may have an operating department that provides settlement and cash services to the cash desk, the department of intra-bank accounting, a division for specific types of accounting services for deposits, loans, foreign currency, etc. Or the last divisions may not be created, and there is an accountant in the staff of each industry department.

    Each accountant was responsible for his own account (group of accounts), received the primary document (invoice, invoice), made a posting on his account and transferred this document to the next accountant. It is clear that modern ERP-systems allow you to entrust all these operations to one accountant. After entering the document, all postings are made automatically. But the company involved in the implementation of the information system in the accounting department specifically suggested that the management leave all the accountants in their places and do not change anything in their usual activities. Everyone began to work with enthusiasm, the social status of employees increased (now they are not just accountants, but users of the enterprise resource management system).

    Due to high prices today, thousands of people in the United States are reverting to the primitively simple practice of bartering. Many are discovering that it is possible to make a commercial exchange of their goods or services for the goods or services of others they need. Lawyers, doctors, and accountants trade favors, and some savvy barterers manage to get their hair cut, dry cleaned, get their teeth fixed, and use other services without paying cash. The membership of an ever-growing number of barter clubs is replenished with many future barter practitioners.

    For example, the director of a hospital, who has full line authority over its resources, can use hospital money to purchase any item by simply instructing an accountant to make a payment. This director may also have the power to decide which doctors should be hired, what salary should be set for each position, as well as select department heads and set goals for the hospital. Likewise, a sales manager can usually take final decision on the admission of new sales agents, regarding the estimated costs for each sales agent, on the question of which sales

    payroll payroll . With piece-work and the wages of the worker depends not only on the hours worked, but also on

    The issued time sheet at the end of the billing period is transferred to the accounting department for payroll for workers and employees. However, on the basis of the time sheet alone, wages can be calculated only for those workers and employees who are on a simple time wage. With a piecework and time-bonus system of remuneration, the wages of a worker depend not only on the hours worked, but also on the quantity and quality of the work performed. This means that in addition to the spent working time, it is necessary to take into account and document the amount of work performed by wiring, oil and gas production, oil production, parts manufacturing, etc.

    This raises questions to which the director of the enterprise and, together with him, the chief accountant cannot find simple answers, on the solution of which the management of the financial and economic stability of the enterprise depends.

    L. Pacioli calls the account Guadagno e perdita, i.e. Profit and Loss. This name stemmed from the practice of simple bookkeeping. Under double entry conditions, losses are written on the left, on a debit, and profits are written on the right, on a credit, therefore, in most countries, the name of the account of losses and profits is accepted. In our country, such prominent authors as E.E. Sivere, R.Ya. Weizman, N.S. Lunsky, A.M. Galagan, also called this account.

    Pay attention to the disclaimer known conditions. Many accountants of the old days always preferred accounts receivable to accounts payable in importance. Especially with simple bookkeeping. Many in those distant times believed that it was imperative to fully take into account receivables, and creditors should take care of accounting for accounts payable, i.e. the lenders themselves.

    Nippa belonged to the accountants-practitioners, in his works simple bookkeeping was combined with the problems of analyzing the economic activity of agricultural estates. Nippa believed that the double (accounting. - Y. S.), with a thorough investigation, turned out to be completely unnecessary [Nippa, p. V].

    W. Sombart (1863-1941) singled out features in double-entry bookkeeping that contributed to the emergence and development of capitalism 1) only the system of accounts allows you to reveal

    Accounting- this is an ordered system for collecting, registering and summarizing information in monetary terms about the property, obligations of the organization and their movement through continuous, continuous and documentary accounting of all business transactions.

    Accounting in accordance with the law on accounting can be maintained by: a chief accountant hired by an enterprise under an employment contract, a general director in the absence of an accountant, an accountant who is not a chief accountant, or a third-party organization (accounting support).

    The history of accounting goes back almost six thousand years and dates back to the 4th century BC. Accounting is associated with economic activity person.

    During the first millennia, unigraphic accounting (simple accounting) developed, which reproduced the facts of economic life in the units of measurement in which they arose. Simple bookkeeping developed in five stages: Simple bookkeeping was a system of continuous and systematic monitoring of the course of the economic process. It made it possible to create a unified accounting system and take control of all material and monetary resources, as well as settlements.

    But this system had a number of shortcomings: there was no mirror reflection in accounting; the principle of approximation was used; accounting was of a registration nature; the legal and economic meaning of all the facts cited in it was not disclosed; accounting means were not used to determine profit; there were no totals to control the correctness of the accounts.

    476 - beginning of the Middle Ages. The traditions of Roman accounting continued to be preserved. The concept of Roman law and the emergence of commercial (economic) law contributed to the growth of accuracy and legal validity of accounts.

    In the second millennium merchants began to create intermediary courts. They developed certain requirements for records: the chronological order of records, the absence of gaps in the ledgers between records, each transaction is documented, and so on.

    In the Middle Ages, two main areas of accounting are formed: cameral and simple accounting.

    cameral proceeded from the fact that the main object of accounting was cash, expected receipts, as well as payments from it. All receipts and payments of funds were subject to registration, and income and expenses were established in advance.

    Simple bookkeeping assumed the accounting of property, including cash, and income and expenses became required for the accountant. All property accounts were kept according to the debit-credit principle, but accounts were not yet included in the information accounting system own funds.

    AT renaissance simple marks of the Romans no longer satisfied the new needs of trade: new forms of accounts appeared and studied in banks, new combinations began to be applied to records.

    New forms were first used by Italian merchants, since Italy at that time was not only an intellectual center, but also a center of world trade.

    The development of accounting was also facilitated by the great invention of the 15th century - printing.

    The transition to a new stage of accounting was the emergence of a double (debit-credit) entry. Scientific development of the law of double entry of business transactions and different ways its use originated in the Middle Ages.

    In 1494 double entry system described by a mathematician, a Franciscan monk, a friend of Leonardo da Vinci - Luca Pacioli in the eleventh treatise "On accounts and records" of the ninth section of the work "The sum of arithmetic, geometry, the doctrine of proportions and relationships." Later the system will be called "Old Italian".

    In the treatise "On Accounts and Records", Luca Pacioli, by analyzing business transactions and already existing methods of keeping books - a memorial, a journal, a general ledger and an inventory book, described the law of double entry and showed that, based on it, an expedient system can be built in any economy. accounts and books.

    Currently, all historians agree that double entry in accounting did not arise in the time of Luca Pacioli, but much earlier. Luca Pacioli only described the system that had already developed before him.

    Today it is reliably known that the first book that described the double entry system was the book Benedetto Cotrugli"On Trade and the Modern Merchant", written by hand in 1458, but printed only in 1573. Therefore, the book of Luca Pacioli is recognized by all historians of science as the first printed work that gave impetus to the development new system accounting.

    Double entry in a more convenient and complete form reflected the economic process. The system of accounts of simple accounting was supplemented with accounts of own funds, and material accounts received monetary value, as a result of which all the facts of economic life began to be reflected twice.

    The appearance of operational accounts, which in a conditional form recorded changes and movements of funds, made it possible to establish a systematic observation of such quantities as capital and profit. Accounts gave accountants the opportunity to move from simple monetary accounting to the accounting of all objects and operations in monetary terms.

    Double entry, having become an integral part of accounting, has turned all accounting into a coherent system that facilitates control over both the preservation of values ​​and their management.
