2. Accounting is the process of identifying, recording, and communicating the economic events of an bt bt bt bt bt bt bt b t b t bt bt bt bt bt




organization to interested users of the information. The first activity of the accounting process is to idebt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt




ntify economic events that are relevant to a particular business. Once identified and measured, the ev
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt




ents are recorded to provide a history of the financial activities of the organization. Recording consist
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt




s of keeping a chronological diary of these measured events in anorderly and systematic manner. Th
bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt bt tb bt bt bt bt




e information is communicated through the preparation and distribution of accounting reports, the
