In 1987, the USPS issued a 22-cent commemorative stamp honoring the 100th anniversary of the accounting profession in the United States.
Ancient accounting was first recorded over 5,000 years ago, when people maintained records of receipts and disbursements on clay tablets. However, modern accounting had its origins in fifteenth-century Italy.
Over the past century, the certified public accountant's responsibilities have gone from the simple reporting of financial information to detailed consultation on a myriad of business decisions. Business and government have benefited from the profession's expanded ability to serve in an increasingly complex economy.
It is framed in a 3 inch by 4 inch wood frame. Please indicate what color frame you prefer - white, black, or walnut. If not specified, walnut (as shown) will be sent.
A bit more history: The United States Post Office issued its first stamp on July 1, 1847. Since that time, over 5000 stamps have been released. Each stamp is given its own identification number called a Scott Number. This stamp has been designated as Scott Number 2361.
