Accounting can also be considered as abstract counting, which is a mechanism to keep causal relationships with documented rigor. The nature of keeping relationships traceable using trust-worthy documentation, yet objectively, and systematically verifiable, must all be grounded in the notion of information symmetry.
Accounting and Accountability
The first well-known document on Double Entry Bookkeeping is known as Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita[1]. Something is accountable or not, can be judged by whether all items are being accounted for during the project.
History of Accounting
It would be useful to read the paper[2] by Fitzgerald and Lin, on Quantum Information and Accounting Information: A Revolutionary Trend and the Role of Topology.
