Accounting is an art as well as Science​

Answer 1

Answer:

Accounting can be considered an art because it requires creative judgment and skills. In order to perform accounting functions well, discipline and training is required.

Accounting can also be considered a science because it is a body of knowledge, but since the rules and principles are constantly changing and improving, it is not considered an exact science.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) defines accounting as: "the art of recording, classifying, and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events which are, in part at least of financial character, and interpreting the results thereof".
