The origin of bookkeeping cannot be said when it was started and we cannot trace out exactly.
It has been practiced from ancient time.
However, it can be said that the book- keeping was as old as money.
It has been practiced from the ancient period.
Book-keeping system was linked with the development of business.
As business developed, book-keeping also developed.
In ancient period, business was in a small scale and book keeping was not essential to that extent.
The increasing demands and needs of human beings and practice of currency gradually began to influence the business activities.
Scientific book-keeping system commenced in Italy about 500 years ago.
Luca Pacific published a book entitled ‘Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria et Properntione.’ in which he dealt with the modern principle of bookkeeping for that first time.
In that bookkeeping, he included the following provisional about the book-keeping:
· Memorial (memorandum book)
· Gestational (journal book)
· Quadrant (ledger account)
Pacioli used the terms debito and credito.
These words came from the Latin words debeo means owed to me (to the proprietor) and credo means owned by (believe or trust).
The terms debit and credit are taken from their origin from debito and credito.
Pacioli explained that the double entry system have two folds if one made creditor, someone else should be made debtor.
This work was translated and published in English by Hugh Oldcastle in 1543 AD.
Later, James Paula improved the method of book-keeping with his view and concepts about book-keeping.
James Paula completed records of debtors and creditors.
In 1795 AD, Edward Jones published a subject matter about the book-keeping; in which he supported for two columns in journal.
