What Is Financial Accounting? Financial accounting is a specific branch of accounting involving a process of recording, summarizing, and reporting the myriad of transactions resulting from business operations over a period of time.

There are two primary types of financial accounting: the accrual method and the cash method. The primary difference between the two types of financial accounting in the timing in which transactions are (or are not) recorded.

Functions of accounting
All companies use accounting to report, track, execute and predict financial transactions. The main functions of accounting are to store and analyze financial information and oversee monetary transactions. Accounting is used to prepare financial statements for a company's employees, leaders, and investors. Accounting also functions to ensure the payment of funds into and out of a company.

Accounting creates a fiscal history for any company. It is used to track expenditures from business operations as well as a company's profits. It can also be utilized to predict financial success and the future needs of a company to create budgets and take advantage of new growth opportunities. Accountants use this information to prepare financial statements used by business professionals and government officials 

FUNCTIONS OF ACCOUNTING 

Business Costs and Revenue
An important function of accounting is to track business spending in relation to income. Just like managing your personal finances, accountants record expenses and payments to keep an accurate and up to date record of the company's funds.

Accounts Receivable
Proper accounting ensures the company receives any payment they are due. An accountant tracks the profits of a business to ensure that revenue is continually flowing into their bank account.

Accounts Payable
Accounts payable functions to pay the company's bills. They ensure the business pays for any money they owe and check that it is a legitimate charge. They also help set the due dates for payments so a company can best manage their own funds based on when money is coming in.

Payroll
Accountants deduct employee wages from company funds for paychecks. They are also in charge of managing employee benefits if they are paid out of an employee's income. Accounting may help decide how employees are compensated for their work based on how wages affect the company's profits.

Financial Reporting
Accountants use digital systems to store and calculate data. If a company is publicly owned, it must also prepare both quarterly and yearly reports for shareholders detailing the assets, profits and losses of the business. Privately-owned companies also utilize fiscal reports like these to understand the financial resources of their firm.

Financial Analysis
Companies use accounting to perform regular analysis of how well the business is performing. Either an outside consultant or internal personnel will look at the business as a whole to determine what functions can be made more efficient based on financial outcomes. They may suggest changes to employee departments or streamlined costs for production to reduce waste.

Taxes and Compliance
A business must comply with government laws and standards from the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange Commission, among other regulations. States also enforce monetary guidelines for businesses. Accounting is responsible for reporting the financial workings of the company and making sure they conform to all local and national laws and guidelines.

Budgeting
Accounting is in charge of setting a company's budget. They use financial data from the past as well as projections for future income to compose annual budgets. Accountants also prepare budgets for individual departments and special projects within the company.

MEANING OF ACCOUNTING EQUATION

Why Is the Accounting Equation Important? The accounting equation captures the relationship between the three components of a balance sheet: assets, liabilities, and equity. All else being equal, a company's equity will increase when its assets increase, and vice-versa.
                   EXAMPLE OF ACCOUNTING EQUATION

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Capital - Owner's Drawings + Revenues - Expenses. Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities. Net Worth = Assets - Liabilities.

It is the foundation for the double-entry bookkeeping system. For each transaction, the total debits equal the total credits. ]]> 2022-10-04 08:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/adeniyihamzatope/Bookmarks/wish/2325233771 Abdullahi fawu year 10 lagos What is the Accounting Equation? The accounting equation is a basic principle of accounting and a fundamental element of the balance sheet. The equation is as follows:Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder’s EquityThis equation sets the foundation of double-entry accounting, also known as double-entry bookkeeping, and highlights the structure of the balance sheet. Double-entry accounting is a system where every transaction affects at least two accounts. For example, an increase in an asset account can be matched by an equal increase to a related liability or shareholder’s equity account such that the accounting equation stays in balance. Alternatively, an increase in an asset account can be matched by an equal decrease in another asset account. It is important to keep the accounting equation in mind when performing journal entries.Journal entries often use the language of debits (DR) and credits (CR). A debit refers to an increase in an asset or a decrease in a liability or shareholders’ equity. A credit in contrast refers to a decrease in an asset or an increase in a liability or shareholders’ equity.  As mentioned above, the accounting equation forms the basis for the balance sheet. The balance sheet is also sometimes referred to as the statement of financial position. The balance sheet is broken down into three major sections and their various underlying items: Assets, Liabilities, and Shareholder’s Equity.You can learn how to read a balance sheet and other financial statements in much great detail with CFI’s free reading financial statements course!ssets:  Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Property, Plant and Equipment Liabilities: Accounts Payable, Long-term Debt Shareholder’s Equity: Share Capital, Retained EarningsThe accounting equation shows the relationship between these items.Rearranging the Accounting Equation The accounting equation can also be rearranged into the following form:Shareholder’s Equity = Assets – LiabilitiesIn this form, it is easier to highlight the relationship between shareholder’s equity and debt (liabilities). As you can see, shareholder’s equity is the remainder after liabilities have been subtracted from assets. This is because creditors – parties that lend money such as banks – have the first claim to a company’s assets.For example, if a company becomes bankrupt, its assets are sold and these funds are used to settle its debts first. Only after debts are settled are shareholders entitled to any of the company’s assets to attempt to recover their investment.Regardless of how the accounting equation is represented, it is important to remember that the equation must always balance.Examples of the Accounting Equation For every transaction, both sides of this equation must have an equal net effect. Below are some examples of transactions and how they affect the accounting equation.CFI’s free accounting fundamentals course will help you better understand these examples!1. Purchasing a Machine with Cash Company XYZ wishes to purchase a $500 machine using only cash. This transaction would result in a debit (an increase in an asset) to Equipment (+$500) and a credit (a decrease in an asset) to Cash (-$500). The net effect on the accounting equation would be as follows:This transaction affects only the assets of the equation; therefore there is no corresponding effect in liabilities or shareholder’s equity on the right side of the equation.2. Purchasing a Machine with Cash and Credit Company XYZ wishes to purchase a $500 machine but it only has $250 of cash in its holdings. The company is allowed to purchase this machine with an initial payment of $250 but it owes the manufacturer the remaining amount. It would result in a debit (an increase in an asset) to Equipment (+$500), a credit (an increase in a liability) to Accounts Payable (+$250), and a credit (a decrease in an asset) to Cash (-$250). The net effect on the accounting equation would be as follows:This transaction affects both sides of the accounting equation; both the left and right sides of the equation increase by +$250. https://padlet.com/adeniyihamzatope/Bookmarks/wish/2340354689
