Wikipedia:WikiProject Business/Accounting task force

Welcome to the Accountancy task force of the Business and Economics WikiProject!

Scope

The Accountancy taskforce covers all aspects of accountancy, both financial and managerial. A particular eye needs to be kept towards a balanced world-view of the subject, as accounting is very dependent upon national regulations and it is easy to write an article with a bias towards the system in one's own country.

Participants

Interested parties

Objectives

• Improve the article Accountancy by adding verifiable content and deleting original research;
• Find editors who have shown interest in this subject and ask them to take a look here (particularly if they can bring an international perspective);
• Identify associated articles, lists and categories for improvement;
• Review their importance and quality of related articles on the discussion page.
• Review the articles in Category:Accountancy and all its subcategories to ensure they are clearly written, verifiable, and appropriately categorized
• Improve stubs in Category:Accounting stubs as quickly as possible, because these are often basic terms needing clear definitions
