Abstract

The story of the origins of monetary systems and commerce help provide a historical account of the origins and progression of accountancy, as commerce and accounting have run parallel to each other since their respective beginnings. For this reason, the history of accounting is often seen as indistinguishable from the history of finance and business. Since the second half of the 20th century, however, the guidance issued by national accounting standards setting bodies has formed the primary basis for the practice and teaching of accounting. At present, the role of accounting theory and of national accounting standards setting bodies is beginning to diminish in the wake of the movement toward uniform international accounting standards.
