Account

Description

Accounts are diverse documents that contain multiple different subcategories including lists, assessments, returns, surveys, and more. A return is a specific type of account document in which a person sends additional information about an account back to the account owner or manager, as in HCM 2710, which details the results of a tax collection effort. Since accounts function to process financial information for both individual people and corporations or establishments, they are required to cover a wide range of topics. Studies in accounts include their reflection of the economic status of a country at a specific time while also tracking the history of interest. In England, accounts were known for “double entry bookkeeping,” in which a transaction would be listed twice for both parties.
