double-entry bookkeeping system. For each transaction, the total debits equal the total credits.

the assets contributed by investors and the assets contributed by creditors, the following relationship holds and is referred to as the accounting equation :

IMPORTANCE OF ACCOUNTING EQUATION

• Financial Statements • A company’s quarterly and annual reports are, in essence,

derived directly from the accounting equations used in bookkeeping practices. These equations, entered in a business’s general ledger, will provide the material that eventually makes up the foundation of a business’s financial statements. This includes expense reports, cash flow, interest and loan payments, salaries, and company investments.

• Double Entry Bookkeeping System

• The importance of the accounting equation also lies in its status as the foundation of the double entry bookkeeping system. This accounting system ensures that a company’s accounts are always balanced and that all financial transactions are documented in detail

• Investment Importance • Due to its role in determining a firm’s net worth, the

accounting equation is also an incredibly important tool for investors. The equation can illuminate a company’s holdings and debts at any particular time, and frequent calculations can indicate how steady or erratic a business’s financial dealings might be.

• Double Entry Bookkeeping System • The importance of the accounting equation also lies in its

status as the foundation of the double entry bookkeeping system. This accounting system ensures that a company’s accounts are always balanced and that all financial transactions are documented in detail

• Income and Retained Earnings• Use of the accounting equation is also an essential

component in computing, understanding, and analyzing a firm’s income statement. This statement reflects profits and losses that are themselves determined by the calculations that make up the basic accounting equation

• Company Worth• Because the balance sheet is founded on the principles of

the accounting equation (a formula which likewise allows accountants to compile and analyze the details on this sheet), this equation can also be said to be responsible for estimating the net worth of an entire company.
