Accountancy (profession) or accounting (methodology) is the measurement, disclosure or provision of assurance about information that helps managers and other decision makers make resource allocation decisions. Financial accounting is one branch of accounting and historically has involved processes by which financial information about a business is recorded, classified, summarized, interpreted, and communicated.

Auditing, a related but separate discipline, is the process whereby an independent auditor examines an organisation's financial statements and accounting records in order to express an opinion—that conveys reasonable but not absolute assurance—as to the truth and fairness of the statements and the accountant's adherence to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in all material respects.An important type of audit is the financial audit. It is designed to determine whether financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). In addition, financial audits may be performed for private companies, registered charities, and some governmental and public entities.

At the heart of accounting is the measurement of financial transactions which are transfers of legal property rights made under contractual relationships. Non-financial transactions are specifically excluded due to conservatism and materiality principles. Practitioners of accountancy are known as accountants. There are many professional bodies for accountants throughout the work. Many allow their members to use titles indicating their membership.
