The development of
accounting in Ukraine
The economic development of
Ukraine is very significant role was played by the Cossacks, which emerged at
the end of the XV century. Trade and finance Zaporizhzhya Sich due to the
peculiarities of the economy, way of life and the social order.
In Zaporizhzhya Sich
accounting of all assets, income and expenses were treasurer Sich treasures
(Shafar) and his staff, which included two Shafar two pidshafarii and
kantarzhey (keeper of weights and measures). Treasurer and his staff keep
records of income and expenses in a special ink books with a goose feather.
Separately conducted ledger of cash transactions and property.
The final stage was a
process of accounting activities of the statement Cossack chieftain and Cossack
Rada.
It should be noted that
the Cossack state finances, which are subordinate to the hetman, was
inseparable from his personal assets. This time a negative impact on the
financial affairs of Ukraine and required a significant centralization of
accounting.
After Pereyaslav Rada 1654
Moscow gradually begins to interfere in the affairs of Ukraine. Hetman
Bryukhovetskiy made an unsuccessful attempt to separate from their public
finances and give them the Tsar of Muscovy.
For this, he instead found
Shafar positions as General podskarbiya. From that moment, the direct
involvement of Moscow in the finances of Ukraine, which resulted in a
significant loss of funds. So, after the arrest of Hetman I. Samoilovich half
of the money due to their indivisibility departed Moscow, and the other half -
the Hetman Ivan Mazepa.
Ivan Mazepa as a
statesman, a patriot and a builder of independent Ukraine should be considered
as an experienced financier. By Ivan Mazepa to the development of public and
monastic economy is the basic principle of the principle of economy. Was well
established and foreign trade, although trade routes agreed with Peter I. In
the back were Venetian ducats, Spanish doubloons, Cesarsky Thaler, Sekine
Turkish, French pistols. Accounting during the Blockheads, given his long stay
in France, was under French influence, in particular the works of Jacques
Savard and Ordinance to regulate the economy, including bookkeeping. If at the
state level because of Mazepa in the prevailing direct European influence, in
the monastic economy, thanks to the influence of the Moscow Patriarchate -
Russian.
Of the monastery records
have survived, we learn that in the monasteries of the economy, as well as
perform religious rites born calculation. The cost of the church ceremony given
by the sum for the maintenance of the monastery and of his brethren.
In monasteries existed
complicated the allocation of responsibilities: managing a lay brother, who
reports to the Treasurer and the poor. The treasurer is responsible for keeping
money, kept their account. Beggars carried administrative and financial
responsibility for the maintenance of one-time works and issued under this work
material goods. In addition, in some monasteries were still salesmen, which
served as storekeepers, and builders, which will undertake the functions of
auditors. Financially responsible persons were elected tsilovalniky.
After Poltava Orlyk's constitution in
1710, though separated from the Hetman state treasure, the economy and finance
of Ukraine and its accounting system did not have the effect, as it was written
in exile. Russia, establishing a special Little Russian Collegium, established
complete control over the finances of Ukraine. Tax collectors according to the
instructions were to board and once a month for four months to report (make
reports) about their work. Getman D.
Apostle restored as General podskarbiya
and separated from the Hetman State treasure, but still controlled the first
Russian authorities.
Has developed a series of instructions
that regulate the work of financial management and the two general podskarbiem,
one of which must be Russian. They carried out accounting and control of tax
collection, expenditure estimates oversee a magistrates. In all simplicity, and
strictly adhering to the order, relying more on folk customs, than written
laws, the Cossacks were also in clerical and accounting work.
Russia, which periodically (once a year)
to send grassroots Cossacks "salary", quickly switched to the other
mode: meat salary received in Sich Cossacks, and the money was going special
deputation (no more than 20 of the Cossacks) to St. Petersburg or Moscow. Along
with "salary" deputations paid and transit and travel money. Past
were actually money given for travel, but for them not to report the
deputation, as well as for gifts received in Russia. Relative to the board
("salary"), it is subject to strict accounting and distribution in
accordance with the duty ranks of the Zaporozhian (schedules). Zaporizhzhya
Sich had developed banking monetary system: the money in circulation in
different countries, which were in constant supply. At the camp there was a
loan. With the amount of military loans issued to merchants to trade. While
revenues from the spoils of war that once made up the story, in fact ceased,
January remained relatively developed economic structure. Upon liquidation of
its Host State Military treasure at the end of 1775 and beginning of 1776 in
the form of cash deposits and the remainder estimate was 200 thousand rubles.
Describing the period of XVI-XVII
century, it may be noted that the economy, trade, monetary, financial system
and organizational records were merged with Poland and the Russian Empire. Last
permanently deprived of any autonomous rights of the financial and credit
system and the accounting of Ukraine.
With the division of Poland under the
rule of Austria, then Austria-Hungary, the empire fell Galicia, Bukovina,
Transcarpathia. From that time until World War II records in Ukraine is only
formed under the influence of the two empires.
During colonial rule in Ukraine
Austro-Hungarian Empire in the west and Russia in the east can be, on the one
hand, talk about the development of the German school of accounting, which
united Germany, Austria-Hungary and the German-speaking part of Switzerland,
and on the other - the development and formation of the young Russian
accounting school. In both cases, given the multi-ethnic composition of
empires, cultural and scientific heritage was not only a credit to themselves
Austrians or Russian, this is about keeping.
Galicia, Bukovina, Transcarpathia in
economic development lagged behind other countries that were part of the
empire, and in general, the advanced countries of the world.
The economy should be clearly defined
agricultural and agro-industrial later character. In Ukraine, especially in the
second half of the XIX century, a considerable attention is being paid to the
economic side
life
created a loan office, co-operative credit societies, considerable development
gains and taverners hotel service. The Ukrainian - Galicia and bukovintsev
organized financial, economic and professional courses, given the economic
literature in order to promote an active and economic activities. Accounting
enters a new stage of its development. Lviv are partselyatsiyny and Farmers
Bank, and then another, and the Polish-Ukrainian industry and equity real
estate bank in Chernivtsi - Bukovina edge, then land bank.
Following in the accounting principles of
the German accounting schools, local economists and entrepreneurs have
contributed to the accounting in mutual credit cooperatives (credit unions),
banks, commercial companies, hotels, etc.
Thus, despite the double pressure - on
the part of the Austro-Hungarian and Polish government officials on the ground
in western Ukraine develop its own national industry, trade, banking and other
areas of economic activity, and with them, respectively, and accounting.
In
Russia (which was part of Ukraine) the application of accounting took place in
Novgorod, Pskov, in cities that supported permanent trade relations with the
West. But the term "accountant" appeared only in the second half of
the XVIII century.
Since the XIX century. start creating
special commercial schools. Thus, in 1810, opened the Moscow Academy of
Commercial Sciences, later - Commercial School in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
In the second half of the XIX century.
accounting along with the service trade penetrates landed estates. In 1860,
Russia was opened in the State Bank, and
then began to arise and private banks. Therefore, printed books and
samonavchiteli from bank accounts. Taking into account the literature of this
period, it must be concluded that the accounting science identified three
activities.
1. The lighting in the literature
recommendations for compliance of accounting rules on the basis of already
existing schools.
2. Scientific inquiry and the emergence of
reform movements.
3.
Home troublesome scientific development issues of accounting.
