Early Bookkeeping and its Development into Accounting

James Don Edwards

Business History Review, 1960, vol. 34, issue 4, 446-458

Abstract: The transition from simple record keeping to accounting more or less in the form we know it today took many hundreds of years, though most of the basic developments had occurred by early Renaissance times. The advance of the art was intimately linked with a growing literature, the advancement of status, and other recognizable signs of maturing professionalism.
