Passage Two One of the most important functions of the accounting process is to accumulate and report accounting information that shows an organization’s financial position and the results of its operations. Many businesses publish such financial statements at least annually. The subdivision of the accounting process that produces these general-purpose reports is referred to as financial accounting. Another major function of accounting is to provide management with the data needed for decision-making and for efficient operation of the firm. Although management people routinely receive the financial reports, they also require various other information, such as the unit cost of a product, estimates of the profit earned from a specific sales activity, cost comparisons of alternative courses of action and long-range budgets.

This equation presents the assets of the business and the claims to those assets. Assets are economic resources of a business that are expected to be of benefit in the future. Cash, office supplies, merchandise, furniture, land and buildings are examples. Claims to those assets come from two sources. Liability are outsider claims, which are economic obligations, debts payable to outsiders. These outside parties are called creditors. For example a creditor who has loaned money to a business has a claim—a legal right—to a part of the assets until the business pays the debt. "Insider claims" are called owners equity or capital. These are the claims held by the owners of the business. An owner has a claim to the entity’s assets because he or she has invested in the business. Owners’ equity is measured by subtracting liabilities from assets. The amount of liabilities of a business tells us how much the business owes to outsiders.
