Bill's versions of events (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accounts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'events' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'bill's versions' is the wordplay.
'bill' becomes 'account' (synonyms).
'versions' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'account'+'s'='ACCOUNTS'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accounts that I've seen before include "bills" , "Stories" , "Record of financial transactions" , "Statements concerning money." , "Statements of financial transactions" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
