Abstract

This article describes the concepts of multidimensional accounting. It is based on a multidimensional (faceted) classification and a semantic multidimensional data model of the accounting. Instead of Accounts, the multidimensional accounting uses the categories of economic activity. The multidimensional data model is more flexible with respect to the hierarchical model of Accounts. The multidimensional data model allows you to extend the accounting capabilities, taking into account the diverse needs of users of accounting information. To create a multidimensional accounting system, identified categories of accounting, formulated the concept of double-entry and the balance in a multidimensional view of (pro-balance).
