There are a few common phrases that are literally and metaphorically applied to concepts such as accounting, inventory, and valuation. "Taking Stock", "Gauging the Situation", or "Reflecting on Progress" are a few that come to mind and provide compound applications.
For example, taking stock of the business inventory serves the compound purposes of executing accounting practices and determining the monetary value of goods on hand beyond the physical count. This is an important business function as it would alert a manager of theft or loss and provide an assessment of valuation assets in a businesses' possession in a certain point in time.

Accounting can be applied to more than just business finances, it can be a system of accountability practices that serves a particular set of values. The underlying ethos or values are built upon as a foundation with a framework of systems and rules of application. These frameworks are very useful in serving the purpose of providing data and feedback that can be used to assess valuation.
