PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTING I

More about the book

Fundamental accounting principles, such as the cost principle and revenue recognition principle, form the foundation of financial understanding in business. Accounting serves as the language that reveals a company's financial status, organized into financial statements. Key statements include the Balance Sheet, which details assets (what a business owns), liabilities (what it owes), and capital or owners' equity. Additionally, the Income Statement provides insight into revenues and expenses, helping to analyze financial transactions and overall business performance.
