History of Accounting
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.
