GLOSSARY
Many of the words defined here have broader, and in some cases, different dictionary definitions.
The definitions use the following conventions:
- Terms used as part of the definitions and that are defined in the glossary are shown in italics.
- When the same glossary term appears more than once in a given definition, only the first occurrence is italicized.
- In some cases, a single glossary term consists of multiple words (e.g. control account).
- When synonyms are included, no definition is given and the reader is directed to the preferred term (i.e., see preferred term).
- Related terms that are not synonyms are cross-referenced at the end of the definition (i.e., see also related term).
