Balance-sheet in the Historical Retrospective
Abstract
The paper is devoted to presenting arguments concerning the change of view about the role of public accounts taking place in Russia owing to incorporation of market elements: dominating idea of interpretation of accounts as a tool of control is being changed to understanding public statements (and a balance-sheet particularly) as the most important means of communication. Evolution of view on accounts in Russia is discussed. Interrelation of such categories as “balance”, “capital”, and “welfare” is analyzed. Evolution of accounts presentation (Inventory list — Inventory balance-sheet — Accounting balance-sheet) is presented as well.
