ACCOUNTING IN RUSSIA

Accounting emerged in the eleventh century in Kievan Russia. The state and monastic economic entity began to use the inventory schedule, being then the basis of all accounting. The chief task consisted in keeping a record of objects. The strictest record of property was regarded as the only possible system of accounting. At this time there appeared the current account, initially in trade where a significant number of persons were involved.

From the seventeenth century in Russia there evolved a rather complicated system of agricultural accounting. The accounting extended not only to land, herds, crops, seeds and implements, but also people - serfs.

In connection with the reforms introduced by Peter I there occurred a significant change in the organization of accounting. As is known, Peter I utilised the best and most valuable experience in the practice of other countries. During his reign there was published the first official document containing references to accounting - Military Statute (1716).

By the end of the reign of Peter 1 there had been created industrial enterprises large both in size andthe number of people employed that required different organization of accounting. The first official document dealing seriously with the organization of accounting was the Admiralty Regulation (1722). The reforms of Peter 1 had a great influence on the development of accounting.

As for the history of the development of Soviet accounting the period from 1922 to 1925 laid down the foundation for the organization and methodology of accounting in industry.

The New Economic Policy comprised a complete series of measuressuch as the strengthening of commodity-money relations, economic accountability and the introduction of a stable rouble and the organization of new socialist accounting.

Chart of accounts

The first chart of accounts was introduced in accounting practices in Russia in the thirties. This scheme contained 123 accounts for the main ledger and a number of second rank accounts. Later this chart of accounts was repeatedly modified and perfected. In 1960 a unified chart of accounts for the production and economic activities of union, republican and local enterpriseswas worked out. At the end of the twentieth century this unified chart was modernized to meet the demands of the national economy and the conditions of mechanized accounting. At present Russian accounting is still based on the chart of accounts which provides a detailed standardized arrangement of account codes for assets, liabilities, capital, revenues and expenses.

The chart of accounts was invented in Germany. Its original aim was to allow companies to record and prepare accounting information in a uniform and, therefore, comparable way. This enabled inter-firm comparisons and enhanced the efficiency of industry. The chart of accounts is also the basis on which accounting information is sent annually from all companies to the Ministry of Economics and Finance. This is common practice for Russia, France, Belgium and other countries of the world.
