I think that you are probably confusing 'Accountancy' with 'Economics'. The former is not a social science, whereas the latter, is. Economics, involves human behaviour and the choices they make. I was an Accountant, but, thank goodness, not an Economist, although Economics was included within our syllabus.

This is a great question.
Economics is a social science; accounting is a profession. Both seem to me to be about mathematics.
I guess that economics is mathematics complicated by people and their social habits which is not predictable enough to experiment with in the scientific way.

Because it is not an exact science (like physics or zoology). Many of the figures in a company's annual report are adjustable depending on the outcome the Chairman wants to present.
