Popis: The current paper aims at raising awareness about the differences between theory and practice in accounting. It focuses on the logical path that a student or a novice in this field must follow in order to apply theoretical knowledge into practice. The role, the structure, and the features of the financial information system (as part of the informational system of the entity) are presented in comparison with the accounting ledgers used in the traditional accounting (where transactions were recorded manually). These ledgers are the starting point of any accounting when acquiring the practical knowledge. In addition, the paper considers the didactic principles most suitable to bridge the gap between theory and practice in accounting.
