Accounting Systems
An accounting system helps capture and organize information related to business transactions. Depending upon the focus it can be divided into two types:
a) Accounting and
b) Managerial Accounting.
A Financial Accounting system contains financial statements and disclosures meant for decision makers external to the company. A Managerial Accounting system contains detailed plans and performance reports meant for decision makers within the company.
Financial Accounting Systems
A financial accounting system is a system that serves the dual purpose of keeping track of transaction information and helping organize and evaluate this information primarily meant for external decision makers. The part related to keeping track of information is termed as Bookkeeping
, which is related to recording an activity, like taking a loan, paying a supplier, or receiving a payment. The other part related to organizing information for evaluation is termed as Financial Statement
, which consists of summarised information on the business activities that help evaluating the health of the business. Bookkeeping is done first and then the captured data is organized and evaluated as part of Analysis stage.
Need for Financial Accounting Systems

It also produces certain goods and sells 100 units to its customers and receives payment after 30 days. Assume that it also had to raise capital through a bank loan to buy the equipment and produce the goods. If none of these transactions were recorded anywhere then it would be impossible to know how much the company currently owes or needs to receive and hence the health of the company cannot be determined. Hence, bookkeeping (or recording of these transactions) is required by all companies.
Now assume that all transactions are recorded through a bookkeeping system and they are all presented to the external decision makers, like banker and investor. It would make it too difficult for them to wade through so many different transactions to figure out how the company was doing. Hence, financial statements are created from the recorded transactions so as to summarize all transactions in a few well-known heads of accounts to easily read the information and make
