A gênese da escrituração das partidas dobradas

Palavras-chave: Prestação de contas, transferência de fundos entre contas, escrituração das partidas dobradas, escrituração de partida simples

Resumo

A urgência da partida dobrada marcou a mudança na escrituração de uma tarefa mecânica a um ofício especializado e representou o início da profissão contábil. Este estudo pretende identificar o que causou essa mudança significativa, mediante a adoção da perspectiva da nova história da contabilidade, isto é, pesquisando sobre as circunstâncias que rodearam o surgimento da partida dobrada a princípios do século XIII na Itália. Contrariamente aos achados anteriores, este trabalho conclui que a forma mais provável de empresa na qual esta surgiu é o banco, com certeza em Florência. A prestação de contas dos bancos locais nessa cidade ao grêmio bancário deu um impulso externo único que gerou um novo modo de escrituração. Esse novo esquema proporcionou uma imagem clara e inequívoca das contas de todos os devedores e credores, junto com os meios para verificar que as partidas entre eles foram completas e exatas.
