1. Nature and function ofaccounting
1.1. History and development of accounting
Luca Pacioli and the double-entry system
Assets, equity and liabilities will each have both a debit and credit side and each type
of asset, equity and liability will have its own account (which will appear in the
general ledger)
Purpose of these accounts is to summarise all transactions that will have an
influence on them
To ensure double entry system is adhered to, for every debit there will be a
corresponding credit
These entries correspond with the influence the transaction has on assets, equity
and liabilities so always remember that the accounting equation must always be in
balance.
Further development of accounting
As businesses grew and started to go global and some merged/ took over other businesses,
accounting developed too. This is known as the conceptual framework.
In SA, financial information had to adhere to SA standards of Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (GAAP)
Because of globalisation, international standards were set by an independent, non-profit
organisation called the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) jointly known as
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
Two most prominent SA accounting bodies are; The South African Institute of Chartered
Accountants (SAICA) and the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA)
formerly known as CFA and CPA
The goal of IFRS is to provide a global framework for how entities prepare and disclose
financial statements. They provide general guidance for the preparation of financial
statements
International standards are important for large entities with interests in different countries.
Single set international standards simplify accounting procedures by allowing an entity to use
one reporting language throughout. Single standards also provide investors and auditors
with a consistent review of finances

That involves bookkeeping of transactions
And the reporting of financial activities of an entity
Through financial statements to the users thereof

basis.
