Understanding Accounting and Accountancy

Distinguishing Accounting and Accountancy
Often, when I meet someone again, they ask, "Aren't you in accounting?" Although I am involved in accounting?"the methodology and metrics?"it's more accurate to say I am in accountancy, the broader profession.
Accountancy covers the profession, while accounting deals with methods for measuring and reporting financial data, enabling informed decision-making by business owners and other stakeholders.
Practical Application
For instance, when managing a small business owner's finances, I might track and report a family's financial status. The business owner then decides on resource allocation for family needs.
Types of Accounting
There are two primary types of accounting:
1. Financial Accounting: Involves processing business financial information by recording, organizing, summarizing, and interpreting it before communication.
2. Auditing: Conducted by an independent auditor, this process involves reviewing financial records to provide a professional opinion and address financial projections.
The Importance of Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping is essential for tracking sales and expenses, especially in today's world where contracts may be partially fulfilled at various times. It helps businesses understand their position and manage finances effectively.
Self-Management and Professional Help

If you can manage your finances without issue, continue using your existing system. However, if discrepancies arise, consider hiring a professional accountant to assist.

Note on Memory and Storage
Let’s clarify a few terms related to memory and storage in computing:
- Memory Bus: Also known as the address or front side bus, this is a high-speed pathway for data.
- Cache Memory: This special internal memory in processors boosts performance. It is faster than main memory but has a smaller capacity. Primary cache is the fastest and closest to the processor.
- Semiconductor Memory: This uses integrated circuits for storing information and can be volatile or non-volatile. Flash memory, a non-volatile type, is popular for home computers.
