Document Summary

Recap: chapter 1 & 2, you learned 3 financial account statements, they are final product outputs for accounting data. It tells you how it generates each number for profit and for loss. Period of time: it can be monthly, quarterly or yearly for which a company prepares for financial statements: start of a new period. Your beginning balance = the ending balance of the last accounting period for each account. Each accounting period resets all of the accounts* Some can be temporary as they are only used for one cycle: during the period. What occurs during this particular cycle is what is important here. We need to identify the types of transactions that occur within the company as not everything is recorded. It is only those that are measurable and realized (the event already happened, not something that happens in the future)
