Is Accounting Really an Art?

Accounting, a word synonymous to men and women in formals of the highest order, lots of ledgers and registers, a calculator (for obvious reasons) and a personal computer. Is it an art? Well, if you look at it from a perspective where these brave souls, or accountants, are endowed with the responsibility of maintaining every minuscule detail about millions of dollars worth of assets and business then it truly does seem justifiably definable as a form of art. Accounting has gained immense value in today’s times. It has always been like that actually. You see, it takes time for art to be appreciated. The older it is the more value and pricey it becomes.
