Abstract

An accounting system can be defined as a combination of inputs organized into a complex whole with the purpose of providing relevant information for decision making. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the 'inputs' that are involved in the accounting systems of France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom as compared with the United States. These inputs are economic, political, legal, educational, and religious factors. As each input varies from country to country, it only stands to reason that the accounting systems from country to country vary.
