Accounting
DR Khyati Boriya
Accounting as an Aid toDecision Making
• Accounting information is useful to anyone who makes decisions that have economic results.• Managers want to know if a new product will be profitable.• Owners want to know which employees are productive.• Investors want to know if a company is a good investment.• Creditors want to know if they should extend credit, how
much to extend, and for how long.• Government regulators want to know if financial statements
conform to requirements.
Financial and Management Accounting
• The major distinction between financial and management accounting is the users of the information.– Financial accounting serves external users.– Management accounting serves internal users, such
as top executives, management and administrators within organizations.

The Balance Sheet
Sections of the balance sheet:• Assets - resources of the firm that are expected to
increase or cause future cash flows (everything the firm owns)
• Liabilities - obligations of the firm to outsiders or claims against its assets by outsiders (debts of the firm)
• Owners’ Equity - the residual interest in, or remaining claims against, the firm’s assets after deducting liabilities (rights of the owners)
The Balance Sheet
The balance sheet equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equityor
Owners’ Equity = Assets - Liabilities
Balance Sheet Transactions
• The balance sheet is affected by every transaction that an entity encounters.
• Each transaction has counterbalancing entries that keep total assets equal to total liabilities and owners’ equity, i.e., the balance sheet equation must always be balanced.

The Double-EntryAccounting System
• Businesses enter into thousands of transactions daily.– Accountants must carefully keep track of and
record these transactions in a systematic manner.
• Accountants use a double-entry accounting system, in which at least two accounts are always affected by each transaction.
The Double-EntryAccounting System
• Each transaction must still be analyzed to determine which accounts are involved, whether the accounts increase or decrease, and how much the balance will change.
• The balance sheet equation can be used for this analysis, but with so many transactions, this is not realistic.– In practice, accountants use ledgers.
RECORD TRANSACTIONS IN
THE JOURNAL

or decreased. Use the rules of debit and credit
