paid for, right to get paid.

§ Summing up the stakeholders we sum up the financial resources part
• What are the 2 main financial resources of a company?
o Equity (investors), liabilities (creditors, either the bank or
suppliers (accounts payable)
o Assets always need to be equal to liabilities + equity (stockholder’s equity)

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity (entity approach)
Assets – Liabilities = Owner’s Equity (proprietary approach)

least 2 accounts are always affected by each transaction
o An account = a summary record of the changes in a particular asset, liability or owner’s
equity during a period.
