BOOK-KEEPING
Book-keeping is a process of detailed recording of all the financial
transactions of a business.
It is the primary stage in the accounting process.
ACCOUNTING
Accounting is the systematic process of identifying, measuring,
recording, classifying, summarizing, interpreting & communicating
financial information.
According to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
“Accounting is the art of recording, classifying and summarising in a
significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events
which are in part, at least of a financial character and interpreting the
results thereof”.
Accounting uses the book-keeping records to prepare financial
statements at regular intervals.
