Answer
Yes, we agree with the statement that the role of accounting has changed over the period of time.
Earlier accounting had a very limited role and that too for the proprietor only.
But today, accounting is a part of overall information system and provides information to various interested groups for different purposes, such as:
- For making economic decisions
- For judging managerial ability
- For activities affecting society etc.
