who is known as the father of accounting
Luca Pacioli Fra Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli (sometimes Paccioli or Paciolo; c. 1447â€“1517) was an Italian mathematician, Franciscan friar, collaborator with Leonardo da Vinci, and a seminal contributor to the field now known as accounting. He is referred to as "The Father of Accounting and Bookkeeping" in Europe and he was the first person to publish a work on the double-entry system of book-keeping in this continent.[3] He was also called Luca di Borgo after his birthplace, Borgo Sansepolcro, Tuscany.
