The Accounting Equation
Overzicht
Behind every set of accounts, no matter how large the business, sits one beautifully simple idea: whatever a business owns must have come from somewhere. The accounting equation captures that idea in a single line, Assets = Capital + Liabilities, and it never stops being true. Master it and the whole of double entry book-keeping suddenly has a logic you can lean on.
In this lesson you will learn exactly what assets, liabilities and owner's equity (capital) mean, see why the two sides of the equation always balance, and practise rearranging it to find any missing element. You will also watch the equation stay balanced through a series of real transactions, which is the perfect warm-up for the statement of financial position that follows.
