Basics of Accounting

The basics of accounting involve understanding the fundamental principles and concepts that govern financial record-keeping and reporting.

  • Assets: Resources owned or controlled by a business, such as cash, inventory, and equipment.
  • Liabilities: Debts or obligations that a business must pay, such as loans or accounts payable.
  • Equity: The ownership interest in a business, representing the amount of money that would be left over if all assets were sold and all liabilities were paid.
  • Revenues: Income earned by a business from its operations, such as sales or services.
  • Expenses: Costs incurred by a business to generate revenue, such as salaries, rent, or supplies.

These elements are used to prepare financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.

  • Income Statement: A summary of a company's revenues and expenses over a specific period, showing its net income or loss.
  • Cash Flow Statement: A statement that outlines the inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents over a specific period, helping to assess a company's liquidity and solvency.
  • Statement of Changes in Equity: A statement that shows the changes in a company's equity over a specific period, including dividends, share issuances, and net income.

Additionally, there are other financial statements and reports used in accounting, such as:

  • Statement of Retained Earnings: A statement that shows the changes in a company's retained earnings over a specific period.
  • Notes to the Financial Statements: Explanatory notes that provide additional information about the financial statements, such as accounting policies and significant events.
