Accounting is primarily concern

Book-keeping is recording of the financial Translations of a business in a methodical manner so that information on any point in relation to them may be quickly obtained. A book keeper may be responsible  for keeping all the information or finical records of a business or only minor segment such as maintenance of the customer's accounts in a departmental store. Much of the work of a book-keeper is clerical in nature and can be accomplished through the use of mechanical and electronic equipment.



On the other hand , Accounting is primarily concern with the design of the system of records, the preparation of reports based on the recorded data, the interpretation of the of the reports and finally communicating the results of the interpretation to persons who are interested in  such results. Accountants often direct and review the work of book-keepers, The work of accountant at the beginning may include some book-keeping but accountants must possess a much higher level of Knowledge, conceptual understanding and analytical skill than is required of the book-keepers.
