What is "Accountancy"
According to The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, "accountancy involves giving professional advice to organisations on a wide range of business and finance issues. Chartered accountants assume the role of business advisers, making high-level strategic decisions that aim to improve profitability and increase market share for their clients' or their employer's businesses".
- Accounting Terminology The New York State Society of CPAs has prepared this glossary as an educational tool.
- The History of Accounting The complementary paper, 'History of Accounting' by John R. Alexander is a brief introduction to this subject. It is available for download here.
