The particulars of transaction and financial relationships between different parties have been written up in the form of financial records since the dawn of civilisation, examples being Babylonian clay tablets and records from the Roman and Greek civilisations.

Our present system of accounting has its origins in Renaissance Italy. By the 12th century the bustle and extent of the wide-ranging trading activities engaged in by the Italian city-states had created the need for an effective system of financial recording which could accurately determine the results of large volumes of transactions involving several parties. Consequently, the double-entry system of bookkeeping, the basis of our modern accounting system, was developed.

During the renaissance, this system of accounting became known throughout Europe; by the 16th century it was standard practise in England, Germany and Holland. The first published description of the double-entry system appeared in Venice in 1494. Written by Luca Paciolo, it was entitled Summa de Arithmetica Geometria et Proportionalita.

The 18th century saw the emergence of another factor that exerted considerable influence on the development of accounting, namely the Industrial Revolution.

There was a tremendous increase in the nature and scope of manufacturing enterprises, trading activities had become far more complicated and extensive and therefore effective methods of planning and control were essential. These needs led to the emergence, out of cost accounting, of management accounting, the specific function of which is to provide whatever financial information may be required by the management of the enterprise for the purpose of planning and control.

The influence of electronic data processing (EDP) on accounting has been of paramount importance in the second half of the 20th century. It should be borne in mind, however, that EDP is purely a technology that has produced a dramatic increase in the speed at which large volumes of data can be processed. Although it has influenced the utilisation of accounting information, it nevertheless has had no effect upon the theory. The computer has made accounting information more effective chiefly in that it is now more complete, easier to understand and more readily available.

These days there are a large number of accounting software packages that are available to individuals, small and medium size enterprises and large corporations. The type of enterprise and internal operating systems will determine the type and size of accounting package that is used. In order for the enterprise to make investment decisions, a proper accounting structure must be in place. Accounting packages are just a tool to interpret the 'language' of the financial world - an instrument for transmitting information. Users of financial information expect accurate and comprehensive information that cannot be provided by general spoken or written language, so accounting was developed to satisfy this specialised need. By virtue of its nature, accounting information is historical. Historical trends do, however, serve as valuable guidelines for future projections.

What Is a Canadian? $13.99 Each of these essays begins with the words “A Canadian is . . .”. Each one is very different, producing a fascinating book for all thinking Canadians. Irvin Studin is an idealistic young Canadian who wanted to do something extraordinary for his country. So he decided to approach leading Canadians — he calls them “sages” — to tell us what they believe defines us. The people who responded eagerly, to produce an essay of 1,500 to 2,000 words, are, in his words, “all distinguished Canadian thinkers and achievers from all walks of life — politics, the civil service, academia, literature, journalism, business, the arts — from both official language groups, and from all regions of the country, as well as from the Canadian diaspora.” The strength of this book lies in the contributors, listed in the sidebar. The variety ranges from the funny — “A Canadian is . . . someone who crosses the road to get to the middle” (Allan Fotheringham) through the hostile — “. . . the citizen of a country badly in need of growing up” (William Watson) through the surprising — “. . . adaptable. To illustrate, consider the depth and breadth of the Canadian woman’s wardrobe” (Jennifer Welsh) or celebratory — “. . . a wonderful thing to be” (Bob Rae). A Canadian is . . . certain to find this book fascinating.

Canadian 1 Dollar Coin $92.4 The Canadian 1 dollar coin is a goldcoloured, bronzeplated, onedollar coin introduced in 1987. It bears images of a common loon, a wellknown Canadian bird, on the reverse, and of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. The design for the coin was meant to be a voyageur theme, similar to the countrys previous one dollar/silver dollar coin, but the master dies were lost by the courier service while in transit to the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg. In order to avoid possible counterfeiting, a different design was used. The coin has become the symbol of its currency. Newspapers often discuss the rate at which the loonie is trading against the United States greenback. The nickname loonie became so widely recognized that on March 15, 2006 the Royal Canadian Mint secured the rights to the name Loonie. The coinan 11sided curve of constant widthis made of Aureate, a bronzeelectroplated nickel combination. In order to maintain a constant width of 26.5 mm the sides of the coin are not exactly straight, but curved in the same manner as the 7sided British twenty pence and fifty pence coins. The total composition of the coin is 91.5 nickel and 8.5 bronze.
