- All assets that a business owns have to be supplied by the owner and the external
parties
- Therefore, the relationship between The assets and the equities ( that of the
owner and the external parties) of the business can be expressed in the following
equation:
Assets = Owner’s Equity + Liabilities
A = OE + L
OE = A – L
- The above equation is known as basic accounting equation or the balance sheet
equation.
-The accounting equation A = OE + L is expressed in a financial statement
known as the Balance Sheet.
- Balance Sheet is an accounting report that shows all the assets, liabilities &
owner’s equity of an organization at a particular time.
