Accounting Terms And Meanings

Written by Admin on May 17, 2011 – 8:21 pm

Though the accounts and the financial statements of the company are best managed by the accountant, it is always advisable to keep oneself abreast of the terms surrounding accounting. The basic premise that the balance sheet works with is that assets are always equal to the equities. The equities are sometimes owned by someone else and then it becomes a liability. Then assets are calculated by taking the owner’s share as well as the liabilities. The details of the assets and the liabilities are called accounts. It records their increase and decrease.

One can devise as many accounts as is required by the business, to record that many heads. Accounts payable are the bills that are required to be paid to the government or to other authorities. They are found in the liabilities section. In the assets section, the accounts receivable are the bills that other firms will pay back to the company. In the accrual basis of accounting you record the transaction the moment it takes place. This is considered one of the most accurate forms of accounting. Assets are all the things that a company owns in order to function the operation of the business.

Government plans to extend flexible working rights and introduce a new system of flexible parental leave will hurt small firms, according to the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).
