Accounting.

[bhaisahab]

I'd say "accountancy".

[billmcd]

I'd say "accountancy".

Perhaps another difference between BrE and AmE. AmE speakers please "chime in".

[Barb_D]

As an American, I'd use only "accounting." The first time I heard "accountancy" in an ESL chat page, I thought it was a bad translation, but I've since learned it's just another one of those difference I hadn't know about before.

[amigos4]

Here we go, again!!! Vive la difference between AmE and BrE!!!!

[5jj]

Perhaps another difference between BrE and AmE. AmE speakers please "chime in".

'chip in' - BrE

[billmcd]

'chip in' - BrE

Ah yes, another difference. In AmE the term "chip in" is frequently (maybe most often) used when referring to contributing financially to a fund or a payment of some type e.g. a bill in a restaurant.
