Accountancy is considered as a technical subject of study. It is thought to be successfully pursued by those who have as a special interest in computation, commercial processes, record keeping of business transactions, etc. It is also believed that the study of the discipline of Accountancy is useful for those who wish to engage themselves as entrepreneurs, managers or advisors in trade and commerce related activities. The scope of accounting process and information and their implications extend much beyond these roles. This book argues that Accountancy is a science that has always occupied a significant place in all developmental and civilizational activities across time and space and that it is a discipline whose learning does not merely depend on numerical intelligence of its learners and practitioners rather it looks for some other important abilities in much greater degree in them for its successful learning and professional application.
