    Decentralized accounting is a system where divisions of an enterprise handle most accounting operations themselves, like compiling balances and reports. The main accounting office verifies the divisions' accounts, gives instructions, and handles accounting for centralized operations. Decentralized accounting reduces reliance on a centralized accounting labor force but increases the overall volume and cost of accounting procedures. It is commonly used in large enterprises with territorially separated or independent sections like purchasing points, subsidiaries, or distribution warehouses.

    Decentralized Accounting

    a system of accounting under which most of the accounting operations (sometimes including compilation of the balance and of accounting reports) are done in separate divisions of the enterprise. Under decentralized accounting the functions of the main accounting office consist of verifying the accounts of these divisions, giving instructions to the accounting workers, and doing the accounting for centralized operations, including compiling the bookkeeping of balances and reports. Since the decentralized accounting system reduces the possibility of the division of accounting labor involved in the accounting and its mechanization and increases the overall volume of accounting procedures and their cost, it is relatively rarely used in practice. Usually, decentralized accounting is practiced in those sections of an enterprise that encompass a variety of operations (housing and utilities, public transportation, capital construction, and other areas, as well as in an enterprises independe nt sections territorially separated from its center (such as purchasing points or agencies, subsidiaries of large-scale offices and chain stores, and distribution warehouses or bases of trade organizations). Decentralization (or decentralisation) is the process of redistributing or dispersing functions, powers, [1][2] people or things away from a central location or authority. While decentralization, especially in the governmental sphere, is widely studied and practiced, there is no common definition or understanding of decentralization. The meaning of decentralization may vary in part because of the different ways it is [3] applied. Concepts of decentralization have been applied to group dynamics and management science in private businesses and organizations, political science, law and public administration, economics and technology.
