Cameral accounting (CAM, see Monsen, 2008a) was developed for use in government organizations in the German speaking countries in continental Europe. It consists of two main versions, namely administrative cameralistics (ACAM, see Monsen, 2008b) and enter¬prise cameralistics (ECAM). The purpose of the latter version is to allow for reporting precisely the same type of information as the one reported within commercial accrual accounting. While the merchant’s double-entry bookkeeping method is used in com¬mercial accounting, a developed version of systematic single-entry bookkeeping is used in enterprise cameralistics. In this way, it is possible to continue to use cameral single-entry bookkeeping for all parts of a government organization, namely the single-entry bookkeeping method of administrative cameralistics (see Monsen, 2008b, for further details, including numerical examples) and the systematic single-entry bookkeeping method of enterprise cameralistics for government enterprises. The purpose of this paper is to explain the latter bookkeeping method to a non-German speaking audience.
