What is Accounting
The purpose of accounting is to track the financial condition of a company, by recording and analyzing the following conditions:
- How much money do customers owe the our company?
- How much do we owe other people (vendors, employees, etc.)?
- How much of our product did we sell?
- How much did the product cost our company?
- Did we make or lose money?
- How much "cash" do we have left?
