George F. Klersey, Tracy Smith

Business enterprises and other social organizations have grown greatly in size and

complexity in modern times. These changes have greatly increased the importance of

reporting, controlling, and auditing for managers and administrators. In order for

management to control its operations effectively, it must have reports on these complex

relationships in a systematic, accurate form. Modern accounting compiles pertinent

information to help plan future activities and to aid management in control, as well as

summarizing and interpreting events already past. Thus, accounting is the vital art of

preparing and presenting financial and statistical information for the conduct of affairs in

modern society.
