insiiiuiions within conditions of market economy and their effort
to apply inteational experience and practice at national level
have determined the transition of the inteal accounting system
towards inteational accepted accounting standards for bookkeeping
and analvsis of conducted transactions.

1. Accounts are grouped in classes: Class I - Assets.
Class 2 - Liabilities.
Class 3 - Equity capital and reserves.
Class 4 - Incomes.
Class 5 - Expenses.
Class 6 - Contingent accounts.
Class 7 - Memorandum accounts.
2. Accounts within classes "Assets" and "Expenses" are assets; accounts within classes "Liabilities", "Equity capital and reserves", "Incomes" are liabilities.
3. Within each class, accounts are incorporated into groups as in accordance with their economic purpose.
4. Accounts within "Assets" are distributed following decreasing liquidity principle.
5. The hierarchical principle is used to allocate groups of accounts within classes and separate accounts within groups.
6. The hierarchy of classes, groups and accounts is reflected by means of the digital designations system.
