Accounting has two main aspects: ascertaining through calculation either quantities of money, goods, or people, and making that information available. For instance, accounting in ancient Athens consisted not only in calculating how many ships the allies of Athens provided in the common war effort against the Persians, but also in carving that information on stone slabs and displaying them in the Athenian Agora.
