Accounting

Accounting is a process which helps to gain clearly understanding about businesses financial situations.
According to Accounting Principles -"Accounting is often called the language of business."
According to researches some record keeping and financial activities existed in Babylon, Egypt and in Greece around 3600 B.C., but much before than merchants had used clay ball with tokens.
Accounting has been progressed over the years in a way which meets today businesses requirments.
Although on a smaller scale, we also use this in our everyday lives to help us manage our money. For example, before we make a more expensive purchase we have to do a little accounting. Buying everything without taking in consideration our possibilities will lead to hard consequences. This can cause debt or bankruptcy.
Accounting is one of the most important things in business life. Without this good business cannot exist.

I just wanted to let you know someone came by and read you post. I am an accountant by education and an auditor by trade so I found you post entertaining. Accounting does not tend to be an interesting subject to write about if you get what I mean. Well, just as an aside, not sure if you have heard of Freakonomics but it is a really good book that takes economics and makes it the thing that runs life just like accounting is the thing that runs business. I especially enjoy the chapter on why crackdealers still live with their mothers.

Check the last three words from the topic sentence, there is something unclear.
Put comma after "although". I will make two sentences from the one that starts with "although". It will have more sense.
Use "more" in a comparative situation, as "more expensive than..."
Don't personalise the paragraph. "... my possibilities...", change into "the possibilities".
Look over the concluding sentence.
Otherwise, good job.
