TEXT 6 Financial Records All businesses need to maintain financial records in order to find out if they are making a profit. Nowadays, a more sophisticated system of Accounting is needed. The design, maintenance, and interpretation of the information recorded in accounts is referred to as Accounting. Accountants use the information in accounts to construct financial statements. These statements are analyzed by management and used as a basis for business decisions such as allocation of financial resources, development of new products, and expansion of operations. The most important of these financial statements are the balance sheet and the income statement. The balance sheet is a financial statement which indicates the condition of a company on a specific date. It is called a balance sheet because it expresses the basic Accounting formula: Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity (Owners equity is also referred to as net worth). On a balance sheet the value is always expresses in terms of money. Companies have different types of assets. Assets are anything of value to a company. They are usually divided into two groups: current assets and fixed assets. Current assets are either cash or items which will be turned into cash during the current business period, such as merchandise to be sold and payments to be received. In addition to cash, inventories, and receivable, companies sometimes have stocks and bonds. Fixed assets are those that will be kept and used for a long time. Fixed assets are usually itemized according to their use to the firm. New machinery and production equipment are valued at their costs. As the equipment is used, its value decreases. This decrease in value is called depreciation.

The opposite side of the balance sheet shows the liabilities. Liabilities are amounts which the company owes. Liabilities, like assets, are divided into two groups. Current liabilities are debts which must be paid during the current business cycle. They would include accounts payable, taxes payable, accrued wages payable, and interest on borrowed money. Companies also have long term liabilities. These are debts which have to be repaid within perhaps ten, twenty, or thirty years. Companies usually have to pay interest on long term debts.
