What is Accountancy?
Accountancy is a formal term for the act of doing bookkeeping and interpreting bookkeeping data. For example, an accountant must be good at accountancy to ensure that a business's bookkeeping is accurate. Good accountancy practices will ensure that a business's bookkeeping is recorded using the double-entry bookkeeping system. Good accountancy will allow for the creation of accurate financial statements that will be used to guide the financial affairs of the business. Every bookkeeper must practice good accountancy. Every accountant must practice good accountancy. And of course, every business owner should do their best to ensure that their bookkeeper and/or accountant can practice good accountancy.
