The Purpose Of Accounting
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Every business, from a single market trader to a global airline, has to answer two simple questions: am I making money, and where does the money stand right now? Accounting is the system that answers them. It begins with the patient, day by day recording of every transaction (book-keeping) and ends with clear financial statements that turn that raw record into a story the owner can act on.
In this lesson you will see exactly how book-keeping differs from accounting, why measuring profit and loss matters so much to the people who own and lend to a business, and how the information accountants produce is used to monitor progress and make decisions. Master this and the rest of the course (ledgers, trial balances, financial statements) will make far more sense, because you will know what it is all for.
