B | Although book-keeping and accounting both involve the process of recording the financial transactions of a business, but both are two different terms. Book-keeping is the process of recording the daily transactions of a business entity in chronological order. It forms part of the accounting information system. | ||||||||||||||
On the other hand, accounting is an information system that includes the process of recording, classifying, summarizing, reporting, analyzing and interpreting the financial condition and performance of a business in order to communicate it to stakeholders for decision making related to their business. | |||||||||||||||
Book-keeping and accounting are inter-related but book-keeping is just a part of accounting and accounting has a wider role than book-keeping. Hence, book-keeping is not synonymous to accounting |
