In order to provide useful financial information about a business enterprise, we need some means of keeping back of the daily business activities and the summarizing results in accounting system.
The first function of accounting system is to creat a systematical record of the daily business activity, in the term of money for instance, goods and services are purchase and sold, credit extended to customers, debts are incurred, and services and cash is received and paid out.
These transactions are typical of business events which can be expressed in monetary terms and must be enter in accounting record. The more expression of an intent to but goods or services in the future does not represent a transaction.
Transaction refers to a completed action rather than to an expected or possible future action. The recording of a transaction may be performed in many ways that is by writing with pen or pencil, by printing with mechanical or electronic equipment or by punching holes or making magnetic impressions on cards or tape. Not all business events can be measure and describe in monetary terms.

To organize accounting information in a useful form the classified information is summarized into accounting reports designed to meet the information needs of the decision makers.
These three steps recording, classifying and summarizing are the means of creating accounting information.
It also involves communicating this information to an interested parties and interpreting as it relates to specific business decisions.
