TIMELINE OF
ACCOUNTING AND
BOOKKEEPING
Accounting in Ancient Civilizations: Mesopotamia, The Roman Empire

- A means of keeping track of income and spending is essential to


running a business, or even maintaining personal finances. A system
of recording transactions is the basis of accounting.

Medieval Accounting

- Barter was the main system of trade during the Middle Ages. But
Europe returned to a monetary economy in the 13th century,
according to historians. At that time, merchants began needing

Timeline: bookkeeping to keep track of multiple transactions.

Accounting in Industrial Revolution


- With the advent of industrial corporations, investors and debtors,
though not part of a company's management, nonetheless had a
vested interest in the company's results.

Accounting Today

- Since establishment of the SEC, the pressure to hire good


accountants has intensified. The financial cost to companies for
falsifying records or having inadequate accounting is high, and
continues to grow.
Who is Luca Pacioli?
Fra Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli, was an Italian 
mathematician, Franciscan friar, collaborator with 
Leonardo da Vinci, and an early contributor to the field
now known as accounting. He is referred to as "The
Father of Accounting and Bookkeeping" in Europe and he
was the first person to publish a work on the 
double-entry system of book-keeping on the continent. He
was also called Luca di Borgo after his birthplace, 
Borgo Sansepolcro, Tuscany.
Why is Pacioli considered as the “Father of Accounting?”

Luca Pacioli was an accountant for a number of these wealthy families as well as a teacher of
accounting.

The reason Luca Pacioli is known as the Father of Accounting is because he wrote the first
accounting textbook. What is incredible, is that the way he describes accounting is the same way
we do accounting today. He lays out the whole system of double entry bookkeeping. He
describes debits and credits. He describes journals and ledgers. He describes the financial
statements. He describes the year end closing process. And a number of other things. He did not
invent these things, but what he did was gather together all the best practices of accounting, and
put them in a book.
What are his Contributions to modern
Accounting?

The system he introduced in his book of accounting was mostly the accounting
cycle which is well-known in the modern world of accounting. Luca Pacioli
introduced the use of journals and ledgers in accounting systems and warned that
the accountant must not sleep until the debits are equaled to credits. The ledgers
he introduced were based on assets receivables and inventories, liabilities,
capital, expenditure and income accounts.
What are his Contributions to
modern Accounting?
Friar Luca also demonstrated the entries which the companies can use for their
yearend and he proposed the entry of trial balance for a balanced ledger. He also
introduced wide range of topics ranging from accounting ethics to cost
accounting. His proposed accounting entries and year end closing entries became
so famous that they were widely used in industrial and financial organizations in
the modern world. Today, no organization can ignore his proposed journal and
ledger accounting system and then showing the balance of debits and credits to
get the desired results for the organizations.
