Abstract

Under socialist conditions, competition and anarchic production have lost their functions. In their place is planned (proportional) development of the national economy. In the socialist countries, accounting and statistics have therefore assumed a role whose significance is unprecedented with respect to presocialist societies. Under socialist conditions, accounting and statistics are among the most important tools in the administration of the state and in the planned leadership of the national economy. Comrade Stalin said in a speech about the meaning and functions of accounting and statistics under socialist conditions and their relationship with one another: "⦠It is difficult to imagine any construction work, national work, or plan without accurate accounting. Accounting without statistics is equally unimaginable."
