The Accounting Equation

Muhtasari

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.

Malengo

Maelezo ya Somo

The accounting equation is the foundation stone of the whole subject. Every transaction a business makes, and every entry you will ever post in double entry book-keeping, leaves this equation in balance. Once you truly understand why the two sides are always equal, the statement of financial position stops being a list to memorise and becomes something you can reason about. This one idea will repay you for the rest of the course.
