Financial reporting - primary statements - bookkeeping.
The accounting equation follows from the double-entry principle of bookkeeping.
It is usually expressed as:
- Assets - Liabilities = Equity
Alternative presentations of the accounting equation include:
- Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Funds; OR
- Assets = Liabilities + Equity
