What is Accounting?
Accounting is the process of recording, classifying, and summarizing financial transactions to provide information that is useful in making business decisions. It involves the systematic recording, reporting, and analysis of a company’s financial transactions, such as sales, purchases, expenses, and liabilities. The primary goal of accounting is to provide financial information that is accurate, relevant, and reliable, so that a company’s management, investors, creditors, and regulators can make informed decisions about its financial position and performance. It is a critical function of any business and is essential for ensuring the financial health and stability of an organization.
Accounting Supervision
Accounting supervision refers to the oversight of the accounting practices and processes within an organization. This can be carried out by an internal accounting department, an external accounting firm, or a combination of both. The goal of accounting supervision is to ensure that the organization’s financial records are accurate and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. This can help protect the organization from potential financial risks and improve its overall financial health.
Why accounting supervision?

First and foremost, proper accounting supervision can help ensure that an organization’s financial records are accurate and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. This can protect the organization from potential financial risks and help prevent errors or fraud.
