Although they both involve the process of recording the financial transactions of a business, bookkeeping and accounting are two different terms.

Bookkeeping is the process of recording, in chronological order, the daily transactions of a business entity. It forms part of the accounting information system.

On the other hand, accounting is an information system – includes the process of recording, classifying, summarizing, reporting, analyzing and interpreting the financial condition and performance of a business – in order to communicate it to stakeholders for business decision making.

Accountants give orders; bookkeepers follow them.

 

Mainly, Accountant works with Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement while Bookkeeper work with Journal and Ledgers

The answer is FALSE.

 

Although Book-keeping and Accounting is inter-related but Book-keeping is a just a part of Accounting while Accounting has a wider role. 

 

The word Book-keeping or Book-Keeper is rarely used now-a-days. One more difference between them is a Book-keeper cannot be a Accountant but a Accountant can be both at the same time.
