Accounting for General Practitioners
Abstract
Many general practitioners have a natural aversion to both
bookkeeping and accounting. They do not realise that a basic
understanding of accounting is a very useful tool within any business and particularly within their clinics or practices.
Some doctors feel that accounting should be left entirely to the bookkeeper or the accountant. If this is done , many of the important decisions that the doctor has to make within his/her practice on a daily basis are made without taking full advantage of the accounting data.
