GNUCash is/was more of a bookkeeping system than an accounting system. 
Accounting systems usually have something akin to a general ledger and P 
& L, ... and supports a traditional auditing methodology.

Although, the whole accounting industry has changed with the advent of 
the personal computer, so
the definition of "accounting system" has become a bit obscured as a result.
