Core Concepts

Accounting is the systematic process of recording, measuring, and communicating financial information about economic entities. It serves as the foundation for businesses to track their financial health through key concepts such as assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses. The primary objective of accounting is to provide stakeholders—such as management, investors, and regulators—with accurate financial data to aid in decision-making. The double-entry system is a fundamental principle where each transaction affects at least two accounts, ensuring that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) remains balanced. Furthermore, accounting involves preparing financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement, which summarize an organization’s financial performance and position over specific periods. Overall, accounting plays a crucial role in transparency, accountability, and strategic planning for businesses and organizations of all sizes.
