9/1/2015

We all have accounts of some sort.  These may be a bank account, investment account, or an account with a vendor or customer.  We are all familiar with the term account, but do you actually know the definition?  This is straight from the Google research tool:

account;
  1. a report or description of an event or experience.: "a detailed account of what has been achieved".
  2. a record or statement of financial expenditure or receipts relating to a particular period or purpose.: "the ledger contains all the income and expense accounts" "he submitted a quarterly account".

It is basically where information is stored in order to organize your transactions in your bookkeeping system.
