information are summarized for the preparation of accounting reports or
financial statements.
History of
Accounting When did accounting begin?
It is said that the beginning of accounting can be traced back to as early as
when people learned to trade, tax and develop a system of counting money.
According to history, in 4000B B.C., the income of temples was recorded in
lower Mesopotamia. The Phoenicians also in 1000 B.C. created an alphabet with
accounting to help them in their trades with the ancient Egyptians and avoid being
cheated. In 500 B.C. history recorded the invention of the first bead and wire
abacus by the Egyptians who were already making and keeping accounting
records during the time.
In the 14th century, Luca Pacioli became a prominent person in accounting

history due to writing a book that introduced and disseminated the double-entry
bookkeeping. The Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et
Proportionalita of Pacioli is the first book to introduce bookkeeping. Pacioli is
considered as the father of modern accounting.
Another event in accounting history and development took place in Scotland

in the 19th century where the modern profession of chartered accountants
originated. This became possible by the granting of Queen Victoria of a royal
charter to the Institute of Accountants in Glasgow.
Currently, accounting standards are available to provide guidance to

accountants in their professional practice. Some of these are the Philippine
Accounting Standards (PAS), the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP), and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Since 2005,
the Philippines became completely compliant with the IFRS.
