A lunar calendar is dependent upon the phases of the moon and the phases of the moon is the same phases per each lunar month, as it has been for thousands of years.
Ancient civilizations throughout history have only used a lunar calendar for thousands of years, which is 10x older than the roman christian "Gregorian" solar calendar that were presently using today. So no, the lunar calendar is not inaccurate. The purpose of the creation of the moon, was to tell time, as it was created to be a watch in the sky.
Ecclesiasticus 43:6 (Apocrypha)
He made the moon also to serve in her season for a declaration of times, and a sign of the world.

Why would a lunar calendar be inaccurate?
In all lunar calendars the first day of each month depends on the phases of the moon. Some calendars begin their month at the start of the new or dark moon while others do not start the month until the first new crescent moon is observed. The actual time it takes for the moon to go through a complete phase cannot be perfectly subdivided by any full number of days. It takes a little more than 29.5 days for this phase to occur, and, thus, over time, lunar calendars will begin to slip and become more and more inaccurate over time. Increasingly complex fractions and dividing schemes have been created to make lunar calendars more accurate.
How would a calendar based on the moon differ from our present calendar?
A calendar based on the moon would have months that align with the lunar cycle, which is about 29.5 days. This means the months would be shorter than our current calendar months, which are around 30 or 31 days. As a result, a lunar calendar would have more months in a year to match the 12 lunar cycles, making the year slightly longer than our current calendar year.

Difference between a lunar month and a calendar month?
1 lunar month = 29.53059 days where a calendar month is anywhere from29-31 daysActually, the lunar months are based on the zodiacs or constellations in the sky. It's intriguing to think that our calendars today were once used to predict floods so therefore it was very useful to the Mesopotamians. Our calendar we use today, are somewhat different. Our months were named still from the zodiacs but we have 1-31 days in each month. Not all months had 31 days. But who knows how many days the Mesopotamians created. This invention was very well used by Mesopotamians. They predicted a lot of weather conditions, yet they predicted when was the best time to flood. Since Mesopotamia is near a water source, when the Tigris and Euphrates (u-frait-es) rivers would overflow with water it would leave behind silt (rich soil, perfect for farming). They than began irrigation systems.
