Umdando wokuphatha igxile ekulinganiseni, ekuhlaziyweni nasekubikweni kolwazi lokusetshenziswa kwangaphakathi ngabaphathi.   Ukuqoshwa kwezezimali, ukuze izifushaniso zezezimali zingeniswe emibikweni yezezimali, kwaziwa ngokuthi umlondo-zincwadi(bookkeeping), lapho ukumbaxazisa komlondo-zincwadi(double-entry bookkeeping) kuyisimiso esivame kakhulu. Izinhlelo zokwazisa komdando  ziklanyelwe ukusekela imisebenzi yomdando nemisebenzi ehlobene nayo.

Ukudanda/umdando bekulokhu kukhona ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene kanye namazinga obuciko kuwo wonke umlando wabantu. Uhlelo olumbaxanisayo(double-entry) lokudanda  olusetshenziswa namuhla lwasungulwa eYurophu yangenkathi ephakathi, ikakhulukazi IVenice, futhi ngokuvamile kuthiwa lwasungulwa isazi sezibalo sase-ITaliya kanye nomfundisi waseFranciscan ULuca Pacioli.Lung, Henry (2009).
