While bookkeeping is more focused on the systematic recording of financial transactions, accounting encompasses a broader scope, involving the classification, summarization, analysis, and interpretation of financial data to provide meaningful information for decision-making and financial reporting.
Bookkeeping involves the daily recording of financial transactions in a systematic and chronological order. This includes transactions such as sales, purchases, receipts, and payments.
Bookkeeping provides the raw data necessary for financial reporting. It involves the preparation of financial documents like invoices, receipts, and bank statements.
Bookkeepers focus on accurately recording transactions without necessarily interpreting their implications. The primary goal is to maintain an organized and detailed record of financial activities.
