The history of accounting is thousands of years old and can be
traced to ancient civilizations. The early development of
accounting dates back to ancient Mesopotamia, and is closely
related to developments in writing, counting and money; there is
also evidence for early forms of bookkeeping in ancient Iran, and
early auditing systems by the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians.
By the time of the Emperor Augustus, the Roman government had
access to detailed financial information.
Double-entry bookkeeping developed in medieval Europe, and
accounting split into financial accounting and management
accounting with the development of joint-stock companies.
Accounting began to transition into an organized profession in the
nineteenth century, with local professional bodies in England
merging to form the Institute of Chartered Accountants in
England and Wales in 1880
