Needed: Better Accounting Concepts

Abstract

Money can flow accurately everywhere because the words used in transactions — from a deposit in a local bank to settling a debt in a far‐off country — have precise meanings. But accounting, the language of business, does not have an accepted vocabulary. This is sorely needed, both for business and nonbusiness accounting. The new millennium is a good time to take stock.
