New kid here. I have a theory that accounting can be reduced to a history of changes in state of items of interest. Examples include moving a capital good, creating an expectation, satisfying an expectation, accepting cash, checks, credit cards and disbursing. One could get some idea of what others find interesting by reviewing tax forms, 990s, balance sheets, etc. The answers would be SQL queries. Most accounting systems are overspecified and lack detail.
