⦁ It emphasis was on the recording of financial transaction in manner most suitable to the owner of the business.

However; the replacement of small companies by large industries and factories brought about the industrial revolution, led to a more modified system of accounting.  This because financial for project how require more finance from the combined investment of a large number of individual against the previous financing by single individuals.

Accounting has developed over long period of time in response to financial information need for decision making in business.
