THE ACCOUNTING EQUATION The whole of financial accounting is based on the accounting equation. This can be stated to be that for a firm to operate it needs resources and that these resources have had to be supplied to the firm by someone

THE ACCOUNTING EQUATION The resources possessed by the firm are known as Assets and obviously some of these resources will have been supplied by the owner of the business. The total amount supplied by him is known as Capital. If he was the only one who had supplied the assets then the following equation would hold true; Asset = Capital

THE ACCOUNTING EQUATION On the other hand, some of the assets will normally have been provided by someone other than the owner. The indebtedness of the firm for these resources is known as Liabilities. The equation can now be expressed as: Assets = Capital + Liabilities

THE ACCOUNTING EQUATION Assets = Capital + Liabilities It can be seen that the two sides of the equation will have the same totals. This is because we are dealing with the same things from two different points of view. It is: Resources: what they are = Assets Resources: Who supplied them = Capital + Liabilities

THE ACCOUNTING EQUATION Assets = Capital + Liabilities It is a fact that the totals of each side will always equal one another, and that this will always be true no matter how many transactions are entered into. The actual assets, capital and liabilities may change, but the equality of assets with that of the total of capital and liabilities will always hold true

DOUBLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING The term double entry accounting refers to a system of keeping a firm’s financial records whereby each transaction affects two or more account with equal debits and credits. A debit is an entry on the left-hand side of an account, A credit is an entry on a right- hand side of an account

DOUBLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING The double-entry system developed by Italian merchants in the 13 th century, is largely unchanged today. Whether the system is manual or computerized double-entry accounting is the main record-keeping system in use today.

DOUBLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING The T-Account The mechanics of double-entry accounting is illustrated by using a T-account, which may be defined as the simplest form of bookkeeping account. A title is placed above the account, and debit and credit entries are entered on the left and right side respectively. (Draw)
