Forms of Accounting

Every factory, farm, institution or organization conducts primary recording of economic phenomena that are cither the necessary conditions for or the final results of the activity of these units. The systematic recording of economic phe­nomena or processes and their classification and summary is called accounting.

Three forms of accounting are to be distinguished according to their meth­ods and specific aims, operative technical recording, bookkeeping and statistics.

The aim of operating technical recording is the supply of technical produc­tion information required at a particular enterprise or institution. This type of information is essential for control over current production technology, for an appraisal of the quality of current output, efficiency of equipment, etc.

Part of the information obtained through operative technical recording is summed up statistically and used in a summarized form for control of whole branches of the economy.

Bookkeeping is conducted at all industrial and agricultural enterprises, in­stitutions and organizations. The subject of bookkeeping is the movement of resources at any given economic unit. It reflects this movement of resources in value (money) form, which make it possible to compare different types of re­sources and summaries relevant data.
