Summary/Abstract: Innovative development of the accounting system as information support of a company activity is a constituent part of the innovation process of the company. Nowadays, we observe inconsistency of the existing accounting system with the requirements of modern economy. This fact shows the necessity to study innovative development of the accounting system as information support of a company and to substantiate the need for optimization of the forms of accounting according to the procedure of automated systems as well as the requirements of the environment.The retrospective analysis of the innovative development of accounting makes possible to state that it was mainly associated with changes in accounting forms. Traditional cycles of the development of accounting forms are distinguished by two main classification features of their division in the time continuum: firstly, by the type of means of accounting, and secondly, according to the procedure of registration. At the same time, their innovative development of forms of accounting by type of means for accounting and the order of registration took place cyclically and in parallel according to the classical theory of development.The modern stage of the innovative development of accounting forms can be considered as a transition which is characterized by evolutionary changes not only in accounting technologies but also in procedures and methods (but not in the order of registration) of accounting control (the introduction of computer-based "cloud” technologies).Taking into account that information support of company activity is characterized only by technical adaptation of accounting forms according to the requirements of computer systems and "cloud" technologies, it becomes necessary to develop the ways of their optimization in accordance with the order of registration agreeing with the capabilities of automated systems as well as with requirements of external environment (management system requirements). The expediency of developing this trend is also highlighted by the tendencies of the classical theory of development (including innovation).
