Fun Facts about Bookkeeping

Fun Fact #1

Fun Fact #2

Accountants Feature in the Oscars – Not the Way You Might Think

Accountants are participants of the Oscars not for the awards but they are usually in charge of counting the ballots.

Of course, accountants also participate in preparing the accounts of the events, but not many would picture these professionals actively engaged in the showbiz space.

Since 1935, the Oscars has been engaging accountants in the vote counting process, making them the first to know the results before anyone else.

Fun Fact #3

The First Ever Recorded Name Belonged to an Accountant

If you were to dig into the history of mankind, you’re likely to come across the name “Kushim”. According to recordings by Dr. Yuval Noah Harari, the name represents the first ever recorded human, and it belonged to an accountant.

The scholar notes that during the early years of humans, there was a need to keep records for purposes of accountability. As you would imagine, accountants maintained such records.

The first ever recorded text is believed to have read in the lines of A total of 29,086 measures of barley were received over the course of 37 months. Signed, Kushim.”

And there was the name “Kushim” …appearing as the first officially recorded name in the history of humans!
