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.
