created to increase a firm's value or benefit the firm's

equipment or a patent.

Equity represents the value that would be returned to a
company’s shareholders if all of the assets were liquidated
and all of the company's debts were paid off.
We can also think of equity as a degree of residual

ownership in a firm or asset after subtracting all debts
O wner’s associated with that asset.
Equity represents the shareholders’ stake in the company,

identified on a company's balance sheet.
equity The calculation of equity is a company's total assets minus

its total liabilities, and is used in several key financial ratios
such as ROE.
Five major accounts
Revenue, often referred to as sales, is the income
received from normal business operations and other
business activities.
Operating income is income derived from normal

business operations, such as sales of good or services.
R evenue
Non-operating income is infrequent or nonrecurring
income derived from secondary sources (e.g., lawsuit
proceeds).
Five major accounts
An expense is the cost of operations that a company incurs to
generate revenue.
Businesses can write off tax-deductible expenses on their

income tax returns, provided that they meet the IRS’ guidelines.
Accountants record expenses through one of two accounting

methods: cash basis or accrual basis.
There are two main categories of business expenses in

accounting: operating expenses and non-operating expenses.

journal
• A journal is a detailed record of all the transactions done by a business.
• When a journal entry is recorded into a company's journal, it's usually
recorded using a double-entry method, but can also be recorded using a
single-entry method of bookkeeping.
• Journal is also used in the financial world to refer to a trading journal that
details the trades made by an investor and why.
• Book of original entry.
Understanding Journals
• For accounting purposes, a journal is a physical record or digital
document kept as a book, spreadsheet or data within accounting
software. When a business transaction is made, a bookkeeper enters the
financial transaction as a journal entry.
• If the expense or income affects one or more business accounts, the
journal entry will detail that as well. Journalizing is an essential part of
objective record-keeping and allows for concise review and records-
transfer later in the accounting process. Journals are often reviewed as
part of a trade or audit process, along with the general ledger.

ledger
• The general ledger is the foundation of a company's double-entry
accounting system.
• General ledger accounts encompass all the transaction data needed to
produce the income statement, balance sheet, and other financial reports.
• General ledger transactions are a summary of transactions made as
journal entries to sub-ledger accounts.
• The trial balance is a report that lists every general ledger account and its
balance, making adjustments easier to check and errors easier to locate.
What Does a General Ledger Tell
You?
• The transaction details contained in the general ledger are compiled and summarized
at various levels to produce a trial balance, income statement, balance sheet,
statement of cash flows, and many other financial reports. This helps accountants,
company management, analysts, investors, and other stakeholders assess the
company's performance on an ongoing basis.
• When expenses spike in a given period, or a company records other transactions that
affect its revenues, net income, or other key financial metrics, the financial statement
data often doesn't tell the whole story.
• In the case of certain types of accounting errors, it becomes necessary to go back to

the general ledger and dig into the detail of each recorded transaction to locate the
issue. At times, this can involve reviewing dozens of journal entries, but it is imperative
to maintain reliably error-free and credible company financial statements.

Nevertheless, transaction analysis only involves three simple
steps. These are:
• Classify whether the transaction is a business or a
nonbusiness transaction. If the transaction is a
nonbusiness, then there is no need to proceed to Step 2.
• Identify the major account/s and the account title/s affected
and the movements with respect to its/their normal
balance/s.
• Determine the amount/s to be debited or credited.
