Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to remind the importance of scientific achievements of Professor Eliżbieta Burzym for the development of accounting theory, scientific research in this discipline, and the practice of accounting in Poland.

The article explains, based on an example from literature, the effects of problem-solving in accounting from the procedural-formal perspective rather than from the substantive perspective, which dominated in the scientific studies of Professor Burzym.
