Abstract: Various quantitative fields border on socio-economic statistics. Some come to mind immediately, such as econometrics. Others may not even be thought of as having anything in common with statistics. Accounting is one of those areas that apparently has little in common with statistics. Exploring what these two fields may have or may not have in common is meant to clarify the nature of socio- economic statistics.
