Abstract
A definitive answer to Louis Goldberg's question Did accounting antedate writing? must depend on conclusive definitions of what is meant by both accounting and writing. It is doubtful whether universally acceptable definitions of either will ever be established. Thus, the question may be as unanswered as it is interesting!
