what are the difference between bookkeeping and accounting ?

Answer Posted / shiak mohammed

Book keeping is only the recording of financial data that a
firm or organisation incurrs on a daily basis, it doesnt
give net financial position of a firm or organisation at a
particular point of time.

Whereas accounting is a system where organisation both
records and has the net result of the financial activities
during the accounting year.
